Catch Phrases edit

We are forever indebted to the source that informs us the ubiquitous monosyllable "No" was actually invented by Mr. Olbermann, which probably makes him the most widely quoted person in all history. Someone should write, with all due haste, to the editors of the many dictionaries that contain erroneous etymologies for this new word, especially to the ones that had the impertinence to publish it before Mr. Olbermann had invented it!

But seriously, based on considerations at Wikiquote:Quotability#Length of the quote, I seriously doubt that anything in the newly added "Catch Phrases" section really belongs in a Wikiquote article. ~ Ningauble 18:53, 19 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
