Sure is. Around here we have been known to engage in the politically correct
food fight, which involves sending an emissary to your victim, with, say, a
fish head and bones on a platter, and said emissary will announce, quietly,
that you've just been nailed with those fish remains. You then respond, if you
so choose, with a  sample spoonful of blancmanger, which you place on the
platter, taking great care to mention to the emissary that it landed in the
fish-donor's eye, but is now dripping down his velvet cotehardie...this allows
for extreme militant escalation without actual harm to anyone.

Ah, well, it's better than the fad of poisoning people's wine cups with salt
or sugar... .
