Name It
Sir,—A spade Is called a spade and not an agricultural implement In today’s issue the simple onset of spring is hailed as springorama. Groceries are, of course, now fooderamas; young thieves, thugs; louts, juvenile delinquents; dirty odd men, senile delinquents; old ladies, senior cdtizenesses; and so on, ad nauseam. We are making a frilly world just like the Victorians.—Yours, etc, A. B. CEDARIAN. August 3, 1966.
