Student: Teacher, how do you say 'lock, stock and barrel' in Spanish?
Teacher: Excellent question! It's a very interesting expression! For your homework, you'll have to look it up.

Get the Excellent question! mug.A perfect example of newspeak, commonly found in the US federal government and frequently found in the same sentence as 'diversity'.

America's greatness, America's exceptional greatness, is not based on that fact that we are the most powerful, most prosperous - and most generous - nation on earth. Rather, those things are the result of American Exceptionalism.
