This reminds me of the hysterical essay by Thurber on annoying popular
phrases, the best being his objection to the "what price....x" (from
"what price freedom") craze that plagued his middle years. I can't even
remember a direct quote yet I'm barely able to type from laughing, so
strong is my memory of sitting in a chair in the sun, somewhere back in
my twenties, and laughing until I wept.
