Like me, you probably recently visited and read the Wikipedia entry for Omaha, Nebraska. There, you learned that the TV dinner was developed in Omaha. Learning that, you likely took some pride in the fact that you were born there.

What? You were born in Omaha? So was I!

Like me, were you also pleased to learn that the Reuben sandwich was conceived by a chef in Omaha?

Were you at all disturbed that the verb “conceived” was used to refer to the creation of a sandwich?

I was.
