Booting the moggy
Occasionally this rubbish I'm writing flickers with light, and I think that that bit at least is worth writing. Today it's an example sentence that will eventually bear on a critique of the copy theory of movement:

John said he would kick the cat, and boot the unsuspecting moggy savagely up the backside this nasty young man did.

That's splendid. (I think I have an inkling of where your argument's going, too....) And it also had the useful side effect of provoking me to go and look up moggy in the OED, where I found this:

1966 New Statesman 27 May 788/2 He dries his hands on a moggie and uses a kitten to blot a false death certificate; 'just a fur ball, it's nothing,' he says.
