I heard that also, along with 99 other words, including unibrow and drama queen. Oh, and SOUL PATCH. I had no idea what that was even working in a high school. But I dearly hate them.

For all the word smiths around here, I thought this article would be of interest: iht.com I came across the article while googling the term veritable gallimaufry, which I liked. Main Entry: gal·li·mau·fry Pronunciation: "ga-l&-'mo-frE Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural -fries Etymology: Middle French galimafree stew : HODGEPODGE <a gallimaufry of opinions> The term was used thusly in a case I was reading: Part of the difficulty in analysis of the law in this type of case arises out of a veritable gallimaufry* of confusing rules gleaned from different types of actions...* I think that might have to replace gravitas for a fun term............ Back to your regular programming.... :-)
