On the origin of that quote:

Apparently, A. Pope was not the first author of the quoted phrase, but just the person who popularized it.

There is a term in French that translates directly to "the wit of the

In that department, I've come up with an alternate title to a photo Paul
posted a bit over a week ago of an attractive lass pouring him a scotch:
"Barley legal".
