ARTRAGE

    "IT'S AN ARTRAGE" is a headline that ran earlier this year in the London Sun about the art exhibit, now in the Brooklyn Museum.  It's in today's New York TImes, 14 October 1999, Arts section pg. E1, in the article "Where the Brouhaha Was Born."
    A check for "artrage" shows it hasn't been used much.  It's the name of an alternative arts festival that's been held in Australia since about 1988.  Almost all of the hits on Dow Jones are from The West Australian.
    Nevertheless, it could still be a "new word."

TV LINGO & PAUL KLEIN

   It appears that "high concept" was born in the fall of 1980.  I did some checking in TV Guide (through the end of 1979) and Variety (through the end of April 1980), without spotting the phrase.
   The following article of TV buzzwords (many coined by Paul Klein--we've got to speak to him) was in TV GUIDE, 21 October 1978, pg. 29:

_If TV serves up white bread in a hammock..._
it has nothing to do with food and rest--
as this guide to industry jargon will attest

_Audience Flow_ (...)
_Backstory_ (...)
_Block Programming_ (...)

_Blunting_ (...)
_Bridge_ (...)
_Counterprogramming_ (...)
_Front-Loading_ (...)
_Hammock_ is a time period between two successful programs where a new show can be introduced and guaranteed a sizable audience. (...)  Paul Klein, an NBC programmer who coined many of these terms, says, "You can visualize it in your head.  It wouldn't be a hammock if the thing in the middle was higher than the two trees connecting it."
_Jiggle_ is a now-infamous expression invented by Klein as he watched a short-lived ABC program about three pretty singers called _Sugar Time!_  Says Klein, "It is when you have a young female television personality running at top speed with a limited amount of underwear."  (SUGAR TIME! starred former Playboy playmate Barbi Benton--ed.)
_Kid Porn_ is another "Kleinism."  The NBC programmer defines it as a program appealing to children's curiosity about sex.  Kid porn usually appears at 9 or 9:30, says Klein, "just to intrigue kids enough to keep them awake another hour."  CBS's _One Day at a Time_, in Klein's view, is pure kid porn: "sex for children--very low level."
_Long Form_ (...)
_LOP_ stands for Least Objectionable Program--one of Klein's more enduring contributions to the lexicon.  (...)
