JL Austin's "middle-sized dry goods"
Post Body
The phrase "middle-sized dry goods" (sometime "medium-sized dry goods" or, according to Ayer, "moderate-sized specimens of dry goods") is ubiquitous in Anglo-American philosophy and is almost always credited to JL Austin. But I can't find a citation. Does anyone know of a place where he used the phrase, or is it just something he was known to talk about?
