How about autocompete? I want to type “elevation.” I get as far as “elev” and it wants me to choose between “eleven” and “elevator.” I type an “a” and not only does it change the choices to “elevator” and “elevators,” it changes *where* “elevator” was placed. (“Maybe he’ll like it better over here”)

I think he knows it (i.e. “idk anything about that”) has become a catchphrase for him, and he looks like he’s digging that (“sends the liberals into paroxysms of exasperation when I say it”)

*The Big Sleep*: Dorothy Malone in the Acme Bookshop talking to Humphrey Bogart shortly before they stop talking. She’s saying “You begin to interest me vaguely.”

Ha! In that episode, they actually MENtioned Rumson (which I had never heard of before or since, until today)—the episode is “Curse of the Petrie People” and it’s one of the AAA-list episodes of the series
