1982, Peter Bowler, The Superior Person's Book of Words, David R. Godine, published 2006, →ISBN, page 22Personally I find the use of the neologistic cliché quite otiose, although, having said that, the rejectamenta of a comiconomenclaturist such as yourself, engaged in stentorophonic ultracepidarian ululation, (excessive broadcasting/crossposting) leads one to believe that perhaps, this apophthegm of yours, might be just the calefacient, that I needed, to make use of this new book on words I have.
