Bellamy's testicles on trial

Bellamy's idea is resplendant in Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Yank yer doodle, Dandy, for only dandies would suffer such an absurd notion of giving up another of our Australian traditions in favour of a further erosion of our values.

Even the word 'trial'. formerly exclusively a noun and now a verb, was imported direct from the USA, and replaced what was a perfectly adequate word 'test'. We used to test ideas; now we trial them.

Thanks Bellamy. I would like to trial you and give you time.
