Myanmar rejects three-way talks with UN
The UN then backpedaled furiously, saying it was only a fantasy and that every international diplomatic institution has it.

Dear news media: while we're on the subject, please also stop calling Hillary Clinton's treatment during the Democratic a "gang bang." It doesn't mean what you think it does anymore.
Though the new definition could still be used, I don't want to think about it.

I have also been distressed by that usage, and while we're on the topic, I wish the news media could cover the debates without resorting to the tired phrase "an orgy of cocksucking and double penetration."

Can you blame them for trying? Aung San Suu Kyi is HOTT!

Re Vance's comment: I chalk up the media's use of that "tired phrase" to pure laziness.

It seems to me that the phrase "three-way talks" is far too accepted a term for the thing they mean, in that world, for someone's attempt to make light of it to be truly successful.
In other words, it wasn't a lapse.

Only the UN would go to the trouble of setting up a three way and then use it to just talk.
