I'm far too tired to think of one now, but assume that I just made a hilarious joke involving the word "television" right here.

[calimac]

"Television? The word is half Greek and half Latin. No good can come of such a device."

- C.P. Scott, allegedly (but probably not)

(In Tom Stoppard's The Invention of Love, A.E. Housman makes a similar objection to the word 'homosexual'.)
