There once was a proper young English miss named Alice Pleasance. She, according to Lewis Carroll biographers, was the real life inspiration for a fictional Alice who tumbled down a rabbit hole and commenced a tour of a riotous realm called Wonderland. During her wanderings, she encountered an egg named Humpty Dumpty and came away with a memorable sound bite. Declaimed Mr. Dumpty, "When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less."
