A new reporter-speak expression that was engendered by the Gulf War II. Many reporters rode shotgun with the troops, ate, slept and soiled with them, and were thus "in bed" with them and a lot of folk naturally interpreted the expression as "embedded". I was not being malapropic.
Louis was similarly cheek-by-jowl with them.
- Whoever said that women are the weaker sex never tried to wrest the bedclothes off one in the middle of the night
- Worry is the interest you pay, in advance, for a loan that you may never need to take out.
