More on sexism. A couple of chaps from
Blue Bell, Pa., write that "as ardent
supporters of the women's liberation move
ment" they categorically reject the word
woman, citing as their reason, as many
have cited before, its inclusion of the
sexist term man.
"In seeking a replacement," they say,
"we took the following steps:
1. Change woman to woperson (this
was obviously rejected because of the
blatant inclusion of the sexist term son).
2. Change woperson to woperdaughter."
The letter was signed M. Timmerman
(M. Timmerperson) and A. Libove (A.
UBove).

Feel Testy? To, demonstrate how
commonplace, well-known and trite cliches
are, we listed here ten of them, omitting
in each one some element you are to
supply. If you get fewer than eight right,
go stand in the corner. If you get all ten
right, you don't have to stand in the
corner. (The answers appear below.)

5. before the horse.
6. before swine.
7. by its absence.

That dkl'n't hurt much, did it? And the
good it did should be obvious: It alerted
you to how well-known and dull cliches
can become through overexposure- and,
hopefully (yes, hopefully), warned you to
be aware of them and to avoid them if
you want your conversation and writing to
sparkle.

Nightfall
It wasn't until our Galliano and coffee
arrived that I reflected upon our nocturnal .
repast and decided it deserved some
mention.
The scene was the Cork n Cleaver, 301
N. Cotner; the occasion, my last acknowl
edged birthday. .
For openers, 1 managed a mammoth
Bloody Mary while comfortably seated in
their dimly lit lounge.
Simultaneously, hunger pangs and the
Bloody Mary's affect motivated my friend
and me to the dining area. We were gra
ciously led through the restaurant, with
decor reminiscent of a Spanish villa, to one
of several almost-private dining rooms.
Immediately we were tempted by fresh
sauteed mushrooms and, after much delib
eration over the extensive wine list, chose a
bottle of domestic Camay Beaujolais. With
these delicious pacifiers, we were left to
leisurely review the menu.

My palate had long decided on crab legs,
a delicacy foreign to me-brave move con
sidering my traditional likings of steak and
potatoes. The Cork 'n Cleaver is the only
Lincoln restaurant regularly offering crab
legs.
I was not disappointed. The generous
portion of crab, accompanied by hot
butter, warm bread- and remnants of my
trip to the salad bar, made me a ready glut
ton. My friend was equally satisfied with
his tender New York sirloin.
Attention, sincerity and a catering apr
proach describes the quality service we re
ceived, and I was impressed by the absence
of canned rhetoric which permeates some
nearby restaurants.
A relaxed and intimate atmosphere,
tantalizing cuisine and amicable service
promotes an evening at the Cork 'n Cleaver
as a memorable experience.
