        @NewYorker @NCaplanBricker As the book 1984 taught us, the best way to socially engineer thought is by controlling and redefining vocabulary

        @NewYorker @NCaplanBricker @Wikipedia Rules are all about the predatory male and have no room for the cooperative female in any "hot" topic.

        @NewYorker @NCaplanBricker Do dictionaries often include phrases (such as "nagging wife") as entries? A better example might be "fishwife."
