Plagiarism: 1. Taking something from one man and making it worse; 2. Stealing a ride on someone’s train of thought; 3. Failure to adorn stolen ideas with footnotes, as opposed to scholarship, which repeatedly acknowledges the theft.

It's better than facing a firing squad.
I believe the word was in the book as part of the description of Clarice Starling's West Virginia background, but I don't believe it was in the movie.

It was a long time ago that I read it, so I hope my memory is correct.

To celebrate Halloween:

"Eye of a newt and toe of a frog, wool of a bat and tongue of a dog"

"Double, double toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldrons bubble"

Shakespeare
