I have a copy of the book right here with me and Ogden/Richards did not "coin the phrase" as the article states. Instead, they cited a teaching book and made the phrase popular.

If you're wondering what the point of this is, run a Google search. Despite the lack of a referent for these terms, yes -- a Gostak is that which distims the doshes. - Adam Conover, 22:26, 25 November 2003

Supposed sonata

[edit]

Under the ‘music’ section, there is discussion of a sonata, “The Gostak Distims the Doshes”, supposedly composed by “Hiawatha” (Hiawatha who?) in 1984. The only reference is a library call number, which could easily have been made up with the expectation that no one would check it. Is this just ten-year-old vandalism?
