        Grant: I know you're right, but it is hard to feel enjoyment when
you hear, for example, John Madden take the already bastardized (from
adjective to noun) "audible" and twist it into a verb -- "He is audiblizing
at the line of scrimmage." That feels more like a kick in the ass than a
first kiss.
