Yada yada yada

Lickspittle—now that's a wonderful word. And I know I'm going to find ways to work it into conversation. That's Other's Dickensian word tonight for that miserable sycophant Charlie Rose. I don't know where Other gets these words, or what causes them to suddenly surface in his vocabulary, but they're a source of great joy—and plagiarism—for me. Another delightful term he began using about five years ago: bloviate. Now you hear it all the time, but five years ago, it was a new word, and he used it first. (And I used it second.)
