The New Yorker, August 11 , 1951P. 22 John L. Richardson, dir. of adv. and sales promotion for AlLied Mills, thought up a novel way of putting over their new slogan: "More Power to Ya -in 1951".
If that's worth $499 or $599 to you, then more power to ya.
In the 1994 film Leprechaun 2, directed by Rodman Flender, a character degrades the leprechaun by saying, "If hearing the actual sound of Jayne Mansfield's head being severed from her body is too intense for you, well then, you know, more power to ya".
And if you have many interests, more power to ya -- then you'll have even more room to grow and more things to talk about.
The success of Ya-Ya is a tribute to the Power Of Context.
Because I gotta tell ya, there is not greater power in the universe than pussy power.
"Where'd ya get the kicks from, Black Power?" one retorts.
The sentence gets all its fighting power from the jabbing of "ya," "ye," and "you're no".
The lesson of Ya-Ya is that small, close-knit groups have the power to magnify the epidemic potential of a message or idea.
Give politicians power and all of a sudden they'll misuse it on ya".
