Badgerisms
 |
Cast your mind back to series two of The Apprentice. Very early on, we were the champions of one candidate in particular; Ruth Badger. All hail The Badger! The formidable, aggressive executive from Wolverhampton swept all before her in selling tasks - from cars to property, she racked up the sales. Some of her Apprentice contestants found her bolshie persona hard to handle, but there was no arguing with her capabilities.
MSN TV columnist Stuart Bak paid tribute to her, coining 'Badgerisms', loosely based on the Bauerisms phenomenon inspired by 24's Jack Bauer (Nobody says 'hit me' if Jack Bauer's dealing Blackjack; Superman wears Jack Bauer pyjamas). We asked MSN users for their Badgerisms. Check out our selection of the best submissions in the gallery below.
