Quotation of the Day for August 30, 2015"Yet on Thursday morning, when I discovered that the Oxford Dictionary was going to include "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" in this year's crop of new phrases, alongside such glorious contributions to the vernacular as "butthurt," "mic drop," "awesomesauce" and "manspreading," I felt an overwhelming surge of pride. Part of that is attributable to ego: I'm a freelance writer who lives in his in-laws' basement so the idea that a silly idea I came up with eight years while writing about a silly movie would acquire so much cultural currency that the freaking Oxford Dictionary would consider it worthy of entering its official lexicon is incredibly flattering and surreal." - Nathan Rabin, on his contribution to the English language.
