LONDON -- UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has a bit of reputation for his, er, shall we say unique choices in verbal expression.
The British politician offered a particularly interesting comparison to Brexit on Wednesday night that has the internet in titters:
"Brexit means Brexit, and we are going to make a Titanic success of it."
...BoJo, you do know how that story ended, right?
The British politician made the gaffe while giving a speech at the Spectator Parliamentarian of the Year Awards.
When reminded of the Titanic's miserable fate, Johnson went on to say:
"Well, the Titanic exhibition in Northern Ireland is the single most popular attraction in the province. We are going to make a colossal success of Brexit.”
Naturally, people are mercilessly mocking him:
