* AskAStupidQuestion: An occasional hazard of taking questions submitted by the public. Miss Manners calls these out in her usual fashion, as in one example in which she was asked the proper way to eat potato chips:
-->"Gentle Reader: With a knife and fork. A fruit knife and an oyster fork, to be specific. Good heavens, what is the world coming to? Miss Manners does not mind explaining the finer points of gracious living, but she feels that anyone without the sense to pick up a potato chip and stuff it in their face should probably not be running around loose on the streets."

* PassiveAggressiveKombat: Miss Manners is not above making suggestions on how best to put someone who's behaving badly in their place without resorting to overt rudeness. She has at times pointed out that people who assume that etiquette exists to make people feel comfortable are gravely mistaken.
