Being a "dubble de-clutch person" in the sticks, let me help you.
The term "civil servant" has been discontinued and allowed to become dormant.
It applied to a bygone era where officials were civil and provided a service.

'Civil Servant' ranks right up there in the realm of oxymorons as 'Military Intelligence'
