Quote:
"We need to hire a 22-22-22,” one new-media manager was overheard saying recently, meaning a 22-year-old willing to work 22-hour days for $22,000 a year.
(New York Times)

*** "Overheard saying" by whom? Where? Is he or she the one who defined "22-22-22," which is not, to say the least, a widely known term? What editor let this through? Jury still out on whether this is a bogus-trend story. ***
