Weakie

"Although the weakie has no chopping teeth comparable to those of a bluefish, he boasts a pair of extremely sharp canines in his upper jaw."

"That was as far as Macauley would go. He wanted to set his shoulders and bunch his fists and let the words fly at O' Neill: You can spot the stranger that comes on a visit and mark him down; you can swagger the streets at shearing-time and reap a harvest; but don't lump me in with the weakies and the yellow-bellies busting their cheques over a good time; the curs and the possums who get silly-drunk and fall in fear to your authority."

"And now we enter the real chess arena, where, haughty about ratings, everybody has only one thought in mind: to win — to pile up plaudits against the county grader's autumnal assessment. And to this end we all hope for a weaker opponent, but in the tournaments there are no outright weakies."
