No. 9 - A Perfect Storm

22-10-2015

This week, in a nod to the domain one of the Head Mime's favorite podcasts, Lexicon Valley, we deconstruct the now ubiquitous phrase in everyday English, "A Perfect Storm." How did this phrase among all book and movie titles make its way so completely into all parts of daily conversation? Why not, "A Passage to India," or "Absolom! Absolom!" or even "The A Team?" Did some confluence of events occur, by rare coincidence, and combine at the optimal moment to bring the phrase into such prominence? The Head Mime explores the possibilities this week, on the Mimecast.
