MaJoC the Filk BS: Language Pet Peeves (2488* d) RE: BS: Language Pet Peeves 26 Jun 23


Hm .... a "quantum leap" may be small in physics, but is usually large in public discourse. The common elements are getting from *here* to *there* all in one go, without pit stops, and it being a surprise. As a metaphor, I hereby declare it to be annoying but excusable .... though the expression happily seems to have fallen out of fashion amongst the chatterati.
