I've never heard ["much of a muchness"] before. Is that a common British

I've heard that one, but it's been years. I've only ever heard it
from a Brit or in a book authored by a Brit. I don't know how common
it is, though. The web site www.phrases.org.uk claims that it's never
really been common (http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/251550.html).
Interesting, Doug. Thanks for the pointer.
I'm going to have to incorporate it into my highfalutin banter oeuvre --
right after I learn to properly pronounce oeuvre.
