It's a greenhorn extravaganza!

On Tuesday, I reported the content of a conversation I'd had at work to Peter. Basically, a coworker had complained about "all these greenhorns" we've got running around the company at the moment. Peter looked surprised--he'd never heard the term "greenhorn" before.

On Wednesday, Peter and I settled down to watch Mythbusters, and Jamie made some comment during their segment on Wild West Myths about "greenhorns." "See?" I said to Peter, "He used 'greenhorn'. Why, it's a veritable greenhorn extravaganza!"

Then I got to thinking, "Now there's a phrase: 'greenhorn extravaganza.' I bet that doesn't show up on Google any place."

For the record, "greenhorn extravaganza" returns no hits on Google. Until now.
