Footnotes of note.
The first in what is sure to be an arhythmically occurring feature:
I'm trying to work out how this makes sense as a noun meaning "the
product of a bowel movement." This is not Dawson's personal
euphemistic misstep; the usage persists in medical writing today.
Should you have had the forturne of visiting a web page called The
Constipation Page, you will [sic] have seen the phrase, "the motion
or stool is very dry or hard." Perhaps this is why the term "motion
pictures" was replaced by "movies." Now that I see it on the page,
"movie" would have been a far better BM euphemism than "motion."
I'd love to chat, but I need to make a movie.
