OllapodAn apothecary, always trying to say a witty thing, and looking
for wit in the conversation of others. When he finds anything which he
can construe into “point” he says, “Thank you, good sir; I owe you
one.” He had a military taste, and was appointed “cornet in the
volunteer association of cavalry” of his own town. ( Source: Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1894
