^ I knew you were gonna ask for examples!

Ok, um, one that comes to mind (hardly the fittest) is "yellow coward". You know how people call others simply "yellow", or "yellah". So there. I know it's not the best, but there you go.

I guess if you were already familiar with the word "flippant", and now see it used unproperly, then you're probably right. But there's always room for exceptions.

WTF is a fibber, anyways?

C&H is beyond cool comic. BR is more a philosopher than a mathematician, but I like him as well!
