: Anybody else use Vance-conjured words or phrases in 'real life'? I admit to referring to one of the security guards in our place as 'old stiffarse', to the general amusement of the gathered ensemble; shamefully, I did not come clean as to the source of this and other fine pejoratives!

I like to refer to a trifling amount as a "Slarsh-tit."

My favorite sentence is: "Why, in the name of the Connatic's pet owl, should we even consider a limit to the possibilities of this, our one and single life?"
