115: quisling: traitor, collaborator (from Vidkun Abraham Quisling, 1887–1945), a Norwegian collaborator with the Nazi occupation of Norway during WW II; earliest known use, 1940)

He called me “quisling” while at school

Because I wouldn’t fight

The bully who would terrorize

The kids—it wasn’t right.

“I’m not a quisling,” I replied—

“I want to make that clear.

I’m sorry for the bullying,

But I’m a teacher here!

“I can’t be having fights with kids—

That would be very wrong—

Especially with giant ones

Who are so ripped and strong!”
