Call things by their right names... Glass of brandy and water! That is the
current but not the appropriate name: ask for a glass of fire and distilled
damnation.
-- Robert Hall, in Olinthus Gregory's, "Brief Memoir of the
Life of Hall"

[Quoted in "VMS Internals and Data Structures", V4.4, when
referring to logical names.]
