Icon of Mendacity

Can we please stop using the word "iconic" for a while? I just came across it twice in a three-paragraph blog post masquerading as a news article, and said post wasn't even about Steve Jobs. Give it a rest.

While we're at it, let's bring back a useful word: mendacious. It's a word that fits our times neatly. Good mouthfeel, too. Mendacious.

Tennessee Williams FTW.
