While I was making dinner last evening, I heard the newsreader for the CBC's
World at Six say that "high muckymucks" would be meeting in New York for
some event or another (I was only half-listening but my ears caught the
muckymuck!). It occasioned a brief discussion with my younger son about the
prevalence of Jargon in our daily speech!

  is called history, a raven cackling on a limb, mythology."
