So I was looking for some simulated flintlock pistols for my pirate Halloween costume. So at one point I was in Toys’R'Us and heard myself say:

“Have toy guns been exorcised from the lexicon of children’s play?”

Lexicon? Exorcised? What made me expect that the Toys’R'Us clerk was going to follow that? I think she picked out the word toy guns and told me that they didn’t carry them, but really, normal people don’t talk like that.
