strong

First there was plain old strong.  Charles Atlas strong I suppose.  You could call that real strong.  That sufficed for a long time.  Then came ARMY strong.  Doesn't mean a damn thing, any more than ARMY stupid does.  But it was pretty catchy so then we got Boston strong and now our own home grown Orlando strong.  Eventually every large city will be its own type of strong.

 Strong is bound to be for us as snow is to the Eskimo.  We will nuance strong as it never before has been nuanced to distinguish which of the many varieties we wish to call forth in conversation.

"New York strong? You call that strong?" a St. Paul woman may well scoff.

Strong snobbery will run rampant across America isolating us one step further from our fellow Americans.  Oh well.
