Dear Condom-leeza,
Thanks for calling me cute; you are definitely in the majority there. And I’m unaffected by your nit-pickishness. In your face.

Cute, but in order to qualify as a “catch phrase” doesn’t that phrase have to be repeated at least once, preferrably hundreds of times? I mean, if that’s true, why is “One small step for (a) man” or “Ask not what your country can do for you” or “Have you no sense of decency” etc. on the list? I don’t think they truly qualify as a “catch phrase” like, say, “Dyn-o-mite” or “Heeeres’ Johnny!” which we heard again and again and again and again…

I can’t believe “What’s up Doc,” or “That’s all folks,” from the Looney Tunes wasn’t on the list.

I was going to add, “Just the facts, ma’am,” but then I found out (on Snopes) it wasn’t the actual line!

Maybe this comment belongs in the popular misconceptions thread…
