I didn't know that! I've never looked into the actual etymology, though I remember one thing I heard that "cute" originally meant "small," hence old-timey idioms like "cute as a bug's ear" or "cute as a pickle seed."

This is so sweet! The first one I remember was also a Scarry, "What Do People Do All Day?" I believe I still have it. It too is much-repaired.

ATL has my vote. In my experience it's impossible to make a connection if you have less than an hour, even if it's on the same concourse.

Aha, thanks - I thought "Big Mike" was some weird reference to the blighted Gros Michel banana cultivar that is said to have inspired "Yes, We Have No Bananas." Should have known it wasn't anything so benign

I agree it's gotten worse recently. I've worked in software since the early 90s and can confirm that companies have always had plenty of contempt for customers, but recent tech developments - not least "software as a service" - have made it much more possible to express it.

I wonder if it torpedoed the same piece of brain that Lee Atwater's tumor did. Like, if there's an "I'm not a wingnut loon" lobe.
