Examples
“I don't believe⟳ in that, or any other unpleasant 'stupidstition' as my reverend used to call⟳ them , " Rose retorted, as she hastily began to dress, for the last⟳ time, in the blue striped costume which had been hers for nearly three years, but was, in a few hours, to change⟳ to one pure white, like⟳ a sombre chrysalis to a radiant butterfly.”
“Do you really believe⟳ in religious "Bunk"? If so, please⟳ read⟳ enclosures - and "Wise Up"; it is a shame for an editor to be a Victim of Superstition. Yours for truth, yours against Christian "Stupidstition".”
“I bet⟳ the next person that has to hit out of that bunker really appreciates your stupidstition. Why not put⟳ them in your bag so they don't hinder other people? That would be some of my luck. Plug⟳ a ball in the bunker with one of your damn pennies setting in the way. What about it guys should we get⟳ the USGA to adopt⟳ a new rule⟳ saying you can remove⟳ one of Jeff's pennies or just mug him in the parking and make⟳ sure he doesn't make⟳ it to the first tee with pennies in his pocket.”
“Yes, that's a platitude: Superstitions by definition are unfounded and are, therefore, all nonsense. They are stupid, too. Because they are stupid, we have⟳ a right to call⟳ them stupidstitions.”
