I noticed that you used the phrase "esprit up to here" around p. 40 of the American edition of Rule 34. I remember that that phrase was used in the first chapter of Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash. (Mafia pizza boy, the Deliverator; it just stuck with me.) Was this an homage to Snow Crash, or is this phrase more common than I thought? ...Was this an in-universe reference to Snow Crash?
(Thank god for Reddit IAmA so I can ask piddly pedantic questions that I've been curious about for a month.)
