Ricky Gervais uses it repeatedly and I think the DVD's included an item on it in their glossaries. I know I use it occasionally ever since watching that show, although at 3 or 4 separate viewings of each episode I may be a fringe case.

Stop whingeing about it working both ways! Doesn't libertarian philosophy have something to say on the issue?

A wholly positive development, in my view. We Brits have absorbed plenty of your words. Stop whingeing about it working both ways!
