Buncombe Quotes

A Parliament speaking through reporters to Buncombe and the twenty-seven millions, mostly fools. (Thomas Carlyle)
That pathology is grounded upon the doctrine that all human ills are caused by the pressure of misplaced vertebra upon the nerves which come out of the spinal cord-in other words, that every disease is the result of a pinch. This, plainly enough, is buncombe.

This, obviously, is buncombe doubly damned. View quote
