I was thinking something about the phrase being latin, and the definition being slightly over the top. Either way, humans are devolving haha.

ne plus ultra |ˈnÄ“ ËŒplÉ™s ˈəltrÉ™; ˈnÄ ËŒploÅs ˈoÅltrÉ™|
noun
the perfect or most extreme example of its kind; the ultimate : he became the ne plus ultra of bebop trombonists.
ORIGIN Latin, literally ‘not further beyond,’ the supposed inscription on the Pillars of Hercules prohibiting passage by ships.

"thats a great advertising phrase".

how often now days do you hear a Latin phrase uttered on commercial TV.
They basically pander to the masses at a level of grunts and oinks[]

From transcripts and writings it seemed that 19th century Americans spoke a more vibrant language.
