Readers with long memories will recall how crazy the Marty McFly character (played by Michael J. Fox) in the “Back to the Future” movies would get whenever anyone called him chicken, or even made a mocking clucking sound. He always overreacted, and most of the time got into more trouble than he started with. I’m similarly struggling to stay sane whenever I hear someone saying “push-poll” while looking at me. “No one calls me chicken,” McFly warned. “No one accuses me of push-polling,” I want to scream.
