Fox viewers STILL imagine that foreign exporters will simply reduce their profit margins to 0, or even go into debt, for the privilege of selling trinkets to Americans. (europe.pub)

They definitely used the term in the Lynch movie, but if you can follow that plot you may be even smarter than a reader of the book heh

The cheatsheets they handed out in theaters in 1984 helped lol.

That's awesome, I want to see one of these cheatsheets now

Edit: I just found a pic of one of the cheatsheets online and it was a little underwhelming, but I still love that they made it.
