Quote
[edit]I remvoed this from the article:
Or, according to the Hutchinson Encyclopedia: "n. Literature, fine writing on [a] trivial or base subject."
I'm not convinced we can use that large a quote under fair use (unless its copyright has expired which isn't stated). I left the quote from the wall street journal in there and added my own definition. RJFJR 02:32, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Can't figure out how to email a response, but....
Agree that the def should be removed to a dictionary. Sorry.
Disagree that an 8-word quote is too "large" under fair use doctrine (I've been the Editor of 3 large-circ [1-mil plus] nat magazines), but so be it....
I've re-written this to include more information on where the word was used. I think its now worthy of being a 'stub' on wikipedia rather than moved to wiktionary. Pydos
Possible "modern" connection
[edit]This may not be the place for it. But it would be interesting to see if there are any good sources that tie this concept in to more modern phenomena. There seem to be many examples of everyday items and people being praised on various corners of the Internet. It might be able to tie into Internet "meme" culture or "American style" sarcasm.
