   -  Quotes Ben Zimmer and me, but makes me sound more sour on this than I
   am. I think of the ironized hashtag as sort of a typographic variation of
   the old "file under ___" standby, as in "John Rocker Admits Steroid Use,
   File Under 'Who Gives A Shit?'" or "For the 'Duh! file'" Or maybe as in
   "File under 'lessons of the digital age': what goes round, comes round, but
   in fewer characters."
