Of course the other uses of the phrase or references to it are are laughing at not with Bo. That is a Sheen-like win. ---

On a Mac: System Preferences\>Keyboard\>Text is where you can set replacements. It’s about the same place on an iPhone and iPad: Settings\>General\>Keyboard\>Text Replacement. To be honest, I’m not sure how I got it to not do the replacement. There was a lot of arrow key use and lots of backspace delete and stuff and I think I finally confused my iPad enough that it forgot to do the replacement. ;)😛 ---

The humor of this is in watching the hubristic here run smack into the inevitable peripeteia. Then, rather than realize they have come face to face with Nemesis, they think of it as the Streisand effect, doubling down on ignorance and confusion. Then, just when you think the joke is wearing thing, the oppressed and bitter take up the mantle of Demosthenes, never realizing they are more akin to Thrasylochus, making it all tragic-comedy. Certainly the barbs and slings of anger, along with the firm injustice and the wailing and gnashing of teeth turns it into a slapstick parody, with Othello thinking he is Iago, and the dance steps it up a notch or two. Good times, good times ---
