Note to Young Readers: if you are ever paddled (chèo thuyền) with a paddle ball paddle, don’t for any reason reach back trying to protect your bottom.

If ever there was an eleventh commandment, I believe it would have been “You shall not complain.” Being around some people can be downright (hết sức) depressing. To listen to them speak is like reading from a book of complaints.
Ronald Reagan many times declared Republican civility as the Eleventh Commandment: “Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican.” Many of us long for (nóng lòng) the return of the days of our hero, Reagan.

Reagan’s 11th commandment is truly a forgotten memory in this Missouri election cycle.
Republican decorum (đúng mực) was famously characterized by Ronald Reagan as the “Eleventh Commandment,” which declared, “Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican.” Reagan credited Gaylord Parkinson, state chairman of California Republicans during the 1960s, with originating the idea, and in his 1966 campaign for California governor, Reagan pledged to honor it.
