1889 Clothier & Furnisher Aug. 51/1 No reasonable person will dispute but that after all a cocktail is a swallowtail.

1985 R. F. Sproull et al. Device-Independent Graphics x. 284 The approximation for distance is sometimes called the ‘Manhattan distance’, because the distance between two points in New York City is best thought of as the distance along city streets at right angles to one another.
