Caleb: Wrote a tease the other day for some bullshit story about a Mainer who's on _American Idol_.
me: oic
Caleb: Went something along the lines of, "She's a golden-throated beauty who's something something something."
Caleb: My anchors were mystified by the "golden-throated" part.
Caleb: Guy read it and, going into the break, chuckled and said, "'Golden-throated?' Never heard that one before!"
Caleb: Story works better on a verbal level.
Caleb: At any rate, both of my anchors who are people over 30 were mystified at the common descriptor "golden-throated."
me: well, I don't think they read many of the same things that we do
me: seriously, I know the term
me: but
me: how?
me: reading some obscure fucking archaic garbage, no doubt
Caleb: I first saw it used in Spengler's _Decline of the West._
me: oh, nevermind
me: I apologize
