[…] and before you could say 'scissors' that customer had forgotten all about the genuine article, and was out of the shop with the bijoutry.
1906, Violet Tweedale, Lady Sarah's Son, page 141:Only a handful of rock musicians have become genuine icons - larger-than-life symbolic figures whose personal triumphs and vicissitudes seem to mirror the ups and downs of rock as a whole, and sometimes of the society that nurtures it. Often, rock icons become the objects of personality cults that tend to overshadow their musical accomplishments.
