"Mush from the Wimp" was a joke headline accidentally passed through to publication at the top of a ''Boston Globe'' editorial in 1980. == Origins of the phrase == On March 15, 1980, ''The Boston Globe'' ran an editorial that began: There was nothing exceptional about it except the headline: "Mush from the Wimp". The headline — which was supposed to have read "All Must Share The Burden" — was corrected during the print run after 161,000 copies had already gone to circulation. In November 1982, ''Globe'' editorial page editor Kirk Scharfenberg wrote an op-ed piece discussing his creation of the phrase and the use of "wimp" as a popular political insult afterwards.〔 Abstract only; no article without payment.〕 "I meant it as an in-house joke and thought it would be removed before publication," he explained. "It appeared in 161,000 copies of the Globe the next day."〔 Theo Lippman Jr., of ''The Baltimore Sun'', subsequently declared "Mush from the Wimp" the second most famous newspaper headline of the 20th century, behind "Wall St. Lays an Egg" and ahead of "Ford to City: Drop Dead".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mush from the Wimp」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
