[edit] Quote

I remvoed this from the article:

Or, according to the Hutchinson Encyclopedia: "n. Literature, fine writing on [a] trivial or base subject."

I'm not convinced we can use that large a quote under fair use (unless its copyright has expired which isn't stated). I left the quote from the wall street journal in there and added my own definition. RJFJR 02:32, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Can't figure out how to email a response, but....

Agree that the def should be removed to a dictionary. Sorry.

Disagree that an 8-word quote is too "large" under fair use doctrine (I've been the Editor of 3 large-circ [1-mil plus] nat magazines), but so be it....

I've re-written this to include more information on where the word was used. I think its now worthy of being a 'stub' on wikipedia rather than moved to wiktionary. Pydos
