Not as many guys named "Phil" or "Marcus" back then. No, I used John because it seemed to be a very common name way back when last names described what one did as a profession.

I'm clearly not innocent...but why'd you use John in all those examples? Is that a veiled "jon"? We’ve become an old word, braggarts.

Very appropriate and especially timely. If misanthropy is a dislike of humankind, what's the word for not liking humankind broadcasting their every thought, quirk or notion all over the internet and thinking it's interesting or funny or smart? Used to be, back in ye olden days, John Carpenter, well, he was a carpenter. John Smith, he was a blacksmith or a goldsmith or a silversmith. John Cook, that guy could COOK. Now, it might as well be Jonny Twitterdefinesmyexistence or Jonathen Facebookallowsmypersonatobesomuchmoreinterestingthanitreallyis. Or something like that. Anyway, nice post Rolston. I dug it.
