It's a story that gets repeated because it works as a great anecdote for contextualizing Broodthaers's circumlocutory, cerebral work (triple-layered irony, full-tilt theatrics, and the politics and conventions of performance, exhibition, publication … to wit, Broodthaers loved Aragon).

Anna Margaret Ross (née McKittrick; 8 December 1860 – 2 February 1939), known by her pen-name Amanda McKittrick Ros, was an Irish writer. She published her first novel Irene Iddesleigh at her own expense in 1897. She wrote poetry and a number of novels. Her works were not read widely, and her eccentric, over- written, "purple" circumlocutory writing is alleged by some critics to be some of the worst prose and poetry ever written.

Critical reception for the book was mixed to positive, with the Guardian summarizing it as "Old dog, old tricks." In contrast, the Hindustan Times gave a more positive review, calling it a "potboiler" while also stating it would be a "chart topper". The Sydney Morning Herald and Times Live both gave mostly positive reviews, with the Sydney Morning Herald noting that although the book contained "circumlocutory prattle of needless talk", that it did not ruin their enjoyment of the novel.

The New York Times also spoke well of Bath Party, comparing Dohan to "a younger, prettier, blonder Rosanna Arquette", noting it as an essentially a one-woman show which "focuses on her not particularly interesting efforts to jump-start an American career, complete with film and television clips, circumlocutory monologues and, perhaps most important for this particular performer, multiple opportunities to reveal her appealing anatomy", and also praising the work of the few others in the cast. Later, Dohan co-wrote Love and Sex on the High Holidays with Israeli singer Ivri Lide.

Rogers' business style extended to his testimony in many court settings. Before the Hepburn Committee of 1879, investigating the railroads of New York, he fine-tuned his circumlocutory, ambiguous, and haughty responses. His most intractable performance was later in a 1906 lawsuit by the state of Missouri, which claimed that two companies in that state registered as independents were actually subsidiaries of Standard Oil, a secret ownership Rogers finally acknowledged. In Marquis Who's Who for 1908, Rogers listed more than twenty corporations of which he was either president and director or vice president and director.

In Finnish mythology Otso, Ohto, Kontio, metsän kuningas (the king of the forest), and mesikämmen (honeypalm) are some of the many rarely uttered circumlocutory epithets for the spirit that was never directly named. Generally, the spirit of the bear was referred to as friend, brother, uncle, or forestcousin, or ways were thought up that would bypass the need to refer to the spirit at all, even indirectly. Some sub-traditions considered the bear to be a relative who had fled the community and been transmogrified by the power of the forest. If a bear had to be killed, a sacred ritual of Peijainen, which was held, and the bear's spirit in the form of its skull remained in a sacred clearing which was upkept, and people would bring expiatory and tributary gifts to it.
