"Catch-22" as Common Speech

[Eric Zumbach]

> Can anyone think of other phrases from fiction [Laura says mythology and
> the Bible don't count] that are part of our everyday lexicon?

here's just a few:  quixotic, gargantuan, mickey mouse, wimpy, blimp, fritz,
braggadocio, utopia, milquetoast, blimp, brobdingnagian...a few of these are
from comic strips Disney, Popeye, Katzenjammer, ohh yeah, malapropism,
"yellow journalism" (maybe...?) pandemonium, and if all you read is this
listserve, "sez" qould be a good one...

Lemme see if I can research some more....
