OP I just returned from a play that was written by some local writers and actors which consisted of vignettes of fictional scenes from the Algonquin Round Table. It got me to wondering just how many common expressions were coined by these people. For example, Dorothy Parker is credited with "One night stand," and I think it was Heywood Broun who coined, "Red baiting." What other common terms did this group of nuts contribute?
