"weapons-grade" -- another figurative use, plus "heart"

[Erin McKean]

The Chicago Tribune had as a headline in the Tempo section on
Wednesday the phrase "weapons-grade charisma" (in a story about Elvis
impersonators).

I've also finally seen in print (as opposed to Internet postings) the
use of the word "heart" (or sometimes <heart>) to stand for the heart
symbol (as in "I heart NY"). The use was in a Jane mag advertorial
and was something like "I heart these jeans!"

I've also seen "<butt>" used in place of "heart," I think to signify
desire (often facetious) rather than love. "I <butt> Russell Crowe"
would be a typical use.

Anyone else seen this?
