Much of our dialect comes from the tale of brave Ulysses, whose long imprisonment in the mind palaces of the snide and thoughtless taught him to hone words of derision that could cut through the pillars of the homo economicus worldview. In time he departed for another adventure, but we still wield the words he forged us.
