When The Daily met Roget
From a Daily Northwestern article yesterday: When The Daily informed the Myers' family Wednesday of the hastened testing, they were thrilled, said Jackie Jacobs, a spokeswoman for the family. They have been waiting on tenterhooks since being notified that the unidentified boy in Evanston shared features with Myers.
Tenterhooks! The word doesn't appear often in The Daily. A search of the paper's online archives show "tenterhooks" never to have appeared any other time in the last four years. Personally, I'd doubt the word has ever appeared before in the paper. And if it did, heavy drinking was likely involved.
In case you're wondering, the meaning and origin of "tenterhooks" is fully explained here.
