I do believe I will borrow (actually, steal) that.
Feel free, Perri. I have little doubt that I may well have unwittingly borrowed (or adapted) that from something I once read that just floated to the surface one day, recently. *shrugs* There are no (or at least few) new words, and I have read an awful lot of them. *heh*
Like me, there is much you don’t know. Here’s a glimpse:

I quite agree, oh anonymous one, that there is much I do not know, and in fact I have explored the fact that I do not know what I do not know here on this site from time to time. But p-sych excuses aside (and that is what they are, absent actual PHYSIOLOGICAL causes of delusional behavior), what I said stands. Suicide is a coward’s way out, unless one chooses to attempt “suicide by old age.”
Prove me wrong. (And the Popehat post falls woefully short in that regard.)
Aside: the HHH quote in your blog’s header is sadly amusing, given today’s Dhimmicrap Party stance.
