In that Irish fox-hunting song all the gallery will be shouting 'Tally-ho! Where did you pick it up?" "I didn't pick it up, I made it up for the occasion." "By Jove! I have to pay a guinea to a bloodsucking composer when I want a song. Oh, Fossy's spotted a winner this time." "Why is he called Fossy?" "I don't know. Nobody knows. I found the name, I pass it on."
"What I'm sayin' is, get a man of the working class a man who has the wants of the working class a man whom the working class can get a hold on to do your business for you, and not any bloodsucking landlord or capitalist. It's a slap i' the face to ivery honest working man i' the coontry, to mak' a Labour party and put Harry Wharton at t' head of it!" The young Socialist looked at him askance.
Insects were altogether too abundant, and even when travelling slowly it was impossible always to avoid them not to speak of our constant companions the bees, mosquitoes, and especially the boroshudas or bloodsucking flies.
He avows with exasperation that the people have deposited all their money in the hands of a few merchants of Tripoli, who are under the protection of the Consuls. He was writing teskeras to obtain money from those Tripoli merchants. "The Pasha," he added, "gets no benefit from these deposits, nor the people. The Tripoli merchants are lying, bloodsucking Jews."
The regiment went up the Kennebec, built a fort, and then half of them went further up the river, to the Great Carrying Place, but found no settlements, no French nor Indians, nothing but immense and terrible swarms of black flies, midges, and bloodsucking mosquitoes; and after considerable blood was shed on both sides, they retreated and returned home.
Hazeldean with many poetical and figurative appellations, such as "Prize Ox," "Tony Lumpkin," "Blood- sucking Vampire," and "Brotherly Warming-Pan," the squire had retorted by a joke about "Saltwater Jack;" and the captain, who like all satirists was extremely susceptible and thin-skinned, could not consent to be called "Salt-water Jack" by a "Prize Ox" and a "Bloodsucking Vampire."
No whitewasher, however brilliant and ingenious, can ever wipe out the fatal action of the British Government in embarking on so ill-conceived a policy as that of supporting the existence of a bloodsucking government, composed of a miscreant ruling class headed by an ignoble king, all living on the misery and blood of a semi-civilized population.
"And what would you suggest, my boy?" he asked with a faint smile. "Leave them alone," said Francisco. "It goes through a regular form. They have agitators who talk of Bloodsucking Plutocrats, Rights of the People and all that. But it generally ends in mere words." "The Paris Commune didn't end in mere words," reminded Adrian.

The larger wasps are not fearful of attacking so-called tarantulas, one sting rendering them paralytic. November 10 1909. Blue has a decided fascination for the bloodsucking "March" flies. In the "blue" tub of the laundry hundreds are lured to suicide, while the other tubs alongside count no voluntary victims.
