You have to love the inventiveness of the people who remake words. Cars used to be used cars, now they are previously owned. It used to be an estate tax, now it is the death tax. My favorite take on the term was Red Skelton. As Freddy the freeloader he had an old beat up sport coat. Opening the coat he could display rows of cigar butts and ask the question "Could I interest you in a previously owned cigar?". Recently this happened to Kadizzle. A sailing friend Dean said he had a cigar for Kadizzle. Kadizzle's heart was filled with joy until Dean explained it was previously owned. Dean pulled out a half smoked cigar of good quality and Kadizzle got to wonder what the first half was like.
