Mel:
I'll second that nomination.  I will say that In Real Life, I've 
only ever heard  it used (or used it myself) in a joking manner, as 
in: "I'm a soy-mocha-latte fan, ok? I'm not proud of it."
The idea that we're supposed to take Black's comment as an honest 
one makes the speaker look worse than ever. Which saying something 
considering this particular speaker.
