From Rumpole Rests His Case (John Mortimer 2001: 198-9):
'Mr Rumpole!  We heard you were taken really bad, Sir.  It's good to hear you're still with us, as you might say.'
'As you might say, Henry, if you were in a particularly tactless mood.'

David Rose Negatively Appreciating (The Stratification Model Of) Halliday & Matthiessen

David Rose wrote on sys-func on 11 February 2014 at 13:38:
Christian argues cogently that cognitive science 'is basically an elaborate variety of a folk model'. But it seems to me that a model of language as 'meaning expressed by wording expressed by sounding' also appears to be an elaboration of a folk model, that contains multiple contradictions.
