Now all he needs is a major television series - "The Grice Is Right"?
'Name that Implicature' has already gone into reruns.

Come on, I was thinking that ye, more intelligent than _me_, would play on
the idiotic idiom,
to keep _them_ at _Grice_ bay.
"To keep them at Grice bay", in philosophical parlance, etc.
Well, Grice's name has been in the Philosophical Lexicon for many
years; it was in the original mimeographed edition, ca. 1969.
grice, n. Conceptual intricacy. "His examination of Hume is
distinguished by erudition and grice." Hence, griceful, adj. and
griceless, adj. "An obvious and griceless polemic." pl. grouse: A
multiplicity of grice, fragmenting into great details, often in reply
to an original grice note.

And then there's that great cultural shrine, Griceland, in Memphis.
