Early 2000s? Pshaw! Try June of 1997!

It was indeed a fine round. I think we needed to provide a usage 
example, and the one that stuck in my mind was the faux Gilbert and 
Sullivan lyrics (supposedly from The Mikado; that took some chutzpah). 
The real def with the quote from "Rules for Smoking Underwater" was just 
too ridiculous to believe.
