GUEST, Fido	Are 'Folk Arts' Elitist? (197* d)	RE: Are 'Folk Arts' Elitist?	15 Nov 10
What, the ubermensch Willie talking to a pingbot? `When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.' I suppose that fits with his assertion elsewhere that all that matters is being "better off than yow" - so he can be elitist with cause, and define words. That way, reverting to Humpty, he can be the master and we and words the servants.
