re: #275 stpaulbear
Franken probably hates the word ‘robust’ for the same reason I hate it. Norm Coleman, who Franken defeated for senate, used the word incessantly. He was the first person I ever hear using that word and he used it for everything. It really jumped out to me back then, and I completely associate that word with Coleman. It still makes me wince. Funny to see that it affected Franken too.
I always associate it with an australopithecine, but I think they went and renamed it.
