- At the risk of being viewed as a Grouchy Old Bastard, I'll admit that I'm
- getting peeved by the overuse of the Wayne's World suffix NOT! attached to
- supposedly serious subject lines.
-
- NOT! was pretty cute the first million times we heard it.
-
- GeneralPeeve: Lack of originality. The complaint is tempered for this
- group, which offers more than an occasional taste of a
- New Idea (although often it is a Wrong New Idea).
-
- NOT! is just a symptom of this disease of non-thinking.
