a “sleb”
Isn’t that the oddest word?
Do you think it is just short for “celebrity” or do you think there’s an allusion to “slob” in there too?
Or maybe I just think that because Brand is the sleb in question?
I like celob myself.
It’s written the way a person would slur the word “celeb(rity).” The Spectator is famous for its own language.
