re: #238 HappyWarrior

My copy of Franken’s book just arrived today. Pretty funny.

“…Here’s another [Washington cliché] that drove me crazy. It’s just the word “robust.” As in “robust funding.” Which just means “a lot of funding.” Or as in a “robust response.” Which just means a strong response.” No human being uses this word in casual conversation. But everyone in Washington uses it all the time.
That’s why I issued a fatwa against it in my office.”
