Excellent!

I don't have such a phrase yet, but I distinctly remember asking my wife "Is there poop on my face?" If I did not have children, I doubt that that sentence would ever have crossed my lips.

Were it up to me, the Brittannica website would be completely free, and updated regularly by professionals.

That may be possible, provided that Britannica can sell enough ads.

@NeonCat -- I think that it's more likely that almost everything on the Internet will be permanent, and much of it searchable. Our grandchildren will be able to read our tweets and status updates.

What Jill said. It's more important to express the sentiment than use traditional phrasing. I agree with this portion of the article:

She describes a typically routine encounter: "At the grocery store cafe down the street, I go get a coffee every morning," Lacey says. "This morning I walked in and they said, 'Good morning, will you have the usual?' I smiled and said, 'Yes, please.' They asked me how my morning had been while making my coffee. On the way out the door they said, 'Enjoy. See you tomorrow.' "

She doesn't expect people to utter the same old same olds.
