A linguistic irritant XCVI

It used to amuse me when an overly officious teacher or principal would refer to "this business of being late to class" or "this business of running in the halls."

I used to think, "Running in the halls is now a company?  Is it called Mad Dash, Incorporated?  Does it exist to shuttle people to class, even when it means running over daydreamers at their lockers?"
