So, the maintenance of the historic purity and integrity of God's own
tongue you choose to leave to us - or should that be "we"? -
less-advantaged?! Shame! Why, just a moment ago, I heard,

"Give him a _hobo's pack on the end of a stick_"!

Is the word, _bindle_, become unknown, even among the alumni of the
Harvard Lampoon who write today's TV shows?

"O tempora! O mores!"

to coin a phrase.
