My point was, and I guess I failed to make it, that phrase has become such a part of our speech that even this veteran, best selling author used it in her book without even realizing that it was not in the vernaculer for the time she said she was accused of being ready to drink the Kool Aid.

I had written earlier about this so maybe it wasn't clear without reading the other post.
Thanks for clarifying.
