They're Just Making Shit Up Now at the NRO
Because you have to fill up that blank page somehow:
Podhoretz: Peter, "fubsy" is a word invented by the peerlessly witty actor Alec Guinness to describe the kind of character he played in great British comedies like The Lavender Hill Mob -- "a man given to handwashing gestures," Guinness once said, a person who was no threat to anybody.No, it's been in use for hundreds of years and pretty much just means fat bastard. Anybody want to try and use it correctly in a sentence?.
