I wonder if any literary phrase gets unknowingly used more often than "unmitigated temerity."
The OJ trial was during my junior year in high school, and the prosecution used the phrase in their closing arguments. Since the class was reading "To Kill A Mockingbird" at the time, the teacher made us write an essay on whether we thought the usage was deliberate, and why the reference was appropriate or mismatched. That teacher was totally awesome.
