“Hence, once the director calls cut on a take, May will often roar, ‘Get me pussy,’ and Munn will appear with the furiously mewing orb of animals. This is not to be mistaken for anything else. He’s not Donald Trump.”
Jeremy Clarkson, The Grand Tour Guide to the World: The Official Humour Book of International Travel and Motor Sports

“Tweets? In 2013, the Pew Research Center, which conducts polls about issues, attitudes, and trends, released the results of its annual survey about Internet use—including Twitter and other social media websites—by the American public. They found that in 2012, 16 percent of adults who used the Internet used Twitter, second only to Facebook, which 67 percent used. The survey revealed that Twitter is most appealing to adults between the ages of 18 and 29, African Americans, and people who live in urban areas. Women were slightly more likely than men to use Twitter. According to similar research by Ignite Social Media, not even half of all Twitter users in 2012 lived in the U.S. Of the cities worldwide with the largest bases of Twitter users, only two—New York and Los An- geles—were in the U.S. Caracas, Venezuela, had the most users, followed by Jakarta, Indonesia, and Sao Paulo, Brazil.”
Sara Gilbert, The Story of Twitter

Agatha Frost
“People in this village will know it is all lies,” said Sue. “You’re the best baker in Peridale! Whoever wrote this was just jealous.” “Maybe.” “Don’t let it get to you.” “I’m not.” “Liar,” Sue said as Julia walked past her with a stack of plates and cups. “Whoever Miss Piston is, they’re probably really unhappy”
Agatha Frost, Pancakes and Corpses

“Check your spam folder
The prophecies might be there
No? Well, I'm stumped. Bye”
Rick Riordan, The Hidden Oracle

Steven K.  Smith
“Maybe spies liked to be old-school too. Maybe some still practiced timeworn methods like the ones George Washington had used. Apparently, Washington developed a lot of spy craft techniques to help him fool the British. Secret code names, dead drops, invisible ink, cyphers, coded messages—all kind of things.”
Steven K. Smith, Spies at Mount Vernon
