  1. I heard this term somewhere but I can’t remember where. Any pointers would be helpful.↩︎

  2. This one can take two forms, the first is the non-dickery form and one of maximum dickery: 1) a rhetorical question that sets up a canned answer and 2) the start of an answer to a earnest question.↩︎

  3. The Joy of Clojure uses this phrase twice. :-(↩︎

  4. Thanks to Steve Losh for the open source related PoMDs.↩︎
