I was about to put an amusing remark here, but then I remembered.

See? That's where you're wrong.* None of us really know the genesis of "Benedict Arnold."** We heard about it in grammar school from teachers who heard about it in their grammar school, and so on and so on and so on...*** Undoubtedly some historians think ole' Ben gets a bad rap. And some people who were actually there might think it's getting misused.**** And listening to those people complain about it would be every bit as boring as reading your complaints about the use of "Timmy."*****
*Okay, one place where you're wrong. I've got limited time today.
** Go ahead, prove me wrong. Tell me exactly what Ben did, and when, and why. Without using Google.
*** Two points if you can tell me the genesis of "and so on, and so on, and so on." Because if you can't, and you weren't there, you don't get to use those words.
**** Bilmore?
***** Is it apropos to say that you are being a Timmy Timmy?
