1) Vonnegut catchphrase[edit]

A fatalistic catchphrase popularized by Kurt Vonnegut’s 1969 novel, Slaughterhouse-Five:

When a Tralfamadorian sees a corpse, all he thinks is that the dead person is in bad condition in that particular moment, but that the same person is just fine in plenty of other moments. Now, when I myself hear that somebody is dead, I simply shrug and say what the Tralfamadorians say about dead people, which is ‘So it goes.’

Fannish use isn’t always so callously morbid; the phrase is most often employed over annoyances that can’t be fixed.

2) Tim Marion Fanzine[edit]

Fanzine published by Tim Marion which started in 1973 and was revived in 2005. It is also known as Soitgoze.
