Two years ago, the 76-Second Travel Show noted how the use of 'robust' had risen steeply on both sides of the Atlantic, while creating a new Christmas carol for the ages, 'Robust Christmas (Let's Make It Robust).' Here's the video:
But to celebrate Robust Christmas III, we thought -- here at 76-Second Travel Show headquarters -- to take an alternate take at gauging the rise of robust. By use in headlines.
This graph shows that the New York Times show rises of use of 'robust' in a headline has doubled in the past two years:
Yes, you find robust everywhere: most robust balance sheet in history, robust menu, robust specimens, robust African-American woman, the robustness of the findings, a robust start (to baseball angst), and so on.
And travel is not exempt. Paulie Theroux dropped the R-bomb on Dutch lit of all things.
If robust is here to stay, and grow, what better way to celebrate than having a robust Christmas?
So please do.
