Great Turn Offs Of Our Time (26)

Whenever I read the word 'iconic'
in a secular context, as applied to photographs
or of a now famous artist, I often wonder
about the phrase that 'iconic' has replaced,
that should have been used instead. 

'Oversold' perhaps, 'over-hyped', or
'On which the public have been force-fed
the myth for so long that now every attempt
at debunking those myths reinforces them.'.
