Famous quotes containing the words general and/or usage:
“The General has dedicated himself so many times, he must feel like the cornerstone of a public building.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.”
