bodyjacked (past)

My accent may be Brooklyn, not the BBC, pal, but I still got a brain in my head. We've been bodyjacked. Some kind of mind-switch—yours to our bodies, ours ta yours. No offense but this ain't exactly the first time we've been cut loose in that particular neighborhood.

1998 November 12, Chris Claremont, “The First The Final? Fire!”, in Fantastic Four, volume 3, number 11, page 17:

We taught him well.

2017 February 10, Vincent Hall, “Quit Playin': To Allow is to Teach?”, in The Dallas Weekly:

A pleasure to see that two attorneys generals, from D.C. and Maryland, just slapped Dum Dum with another emoluments lawsuit. We can’t have enough of these actions jammed up Twitler’s tailpipe.

2017 June 15, Bruce Van Dyke, “Too true to be good”, in Reno News & Review:

How long will Hair Twitler reign – And will he get out what he Putin? So now the world waits – and worries, to see What he will get up to next, the new fuhrer – A malicious clown has the nuclear codes Yet can't even acquit himself on Twitter.

[...] with posters featuring caricatures of Trump as Hitler, but that is no easy swipe at Twitler.

Gaylor

And most Gaylors treat every song, photo, piece of social media content, and interview related to Swift with the care of someone attempting to decode the Rosetta Stone.

2017 May 15, Nicole Stinson, “Rise of ‘Re-Leaver’ voters may lead to a Conservative landslide in the General Election”, in Daily Express:

Perhaps it’s because the “Re-Leaver” theory (that many of those who voted Remain have accepted the referendum result and don’t want the result reversed) resonates, or maybe it simply feels stale to stage a rerun of the referendum campaign, but their ideas on housing, climate change, education and health were more compelling than their stance on how (or whether) the UK should leave the European Union.

2017 May 18, Anoosh Chakelian, “5 things we learned from the leaders’ debates for the smaller parties”, in New Statesman:

He said that nearly half of those who voted to remain in the E.U. — the Re-Leavers — now just want to make the best of an undesirable situation.

A Remainer turned “Re-Leaver”, he wants Conservative MPs and members to know he’s a fully paid-up Brexiteer because, along with about 20 rivals, he wants to succeed Theresa May.

2018 July 13, Andrew Gryce, “For the first time since the 2016 vote for Brexit, I think a second referendum could be possible”, in The Independent:

Labour Leavers (such as Frank Field and Kate Hoey) and Re-Leavers (such as Caroline Flint and Gareth Snell) would also vote against EEA membership – an alliance of those opposed to free markets and those opposed to free movement means May cannot simply borrow a majority from Labour.

2018 August 2, George Eaton, “Why the EEA model is not a safe option for Tory Brexiteers”, in New Statesman:

Once there were Leavers and Remainers. Then Regrexiters, Re-Leavers and Remoaners.
