So I said, `I'm going to write a letter. The world is getting
too sensitive. Anybody who thinks otherwise needs to have
his dog-gone brain examined.' `Good idea,' said my
sensitive friend, `but avoid using that metaplasm...'"
Richard A. Zidonis, Proper Address of the Question, The
Plain Dealer (Cleveland, Ohio), Nov 8, 1991.

The only possible metaplasm I see in the quote is "dog" substituted for "God". Is not "sensitive" friend
then hypersensitive to object to such a substitution?
