"The other day somebody said 'dichotomy' and I was transported back half a century. You hardly ever hear that word nowadays, but back in the Sixties everything seemed to be a dichotomy. Words go in and out of fashion like anything else. May we hope that the irritating 'iconic' is at its apogee, and will soon decline?"
I was an art student in the 80s/90s, so I heard the words "dichotomy" and "juxtaposition" more than anybody should hear either of those during their entire lifetime.
