I thought she was the one who added on to Ogden Nash's famous quote about "Men Seldom Make Passes, etc." I had to look it up.
Dorothy Parker’s text inspired the U.S. poet Ogden Nash (1902-1971) in Hard Lines(New York: Simon and Schuster, 1931): Lines Written to Console Those Ladies Distressed by the Lines “Men Seldom Make Passes, etc.” A girl who is bespectacled Don’t even get her nectacled, But safety pins and bassinets Await the girl who fascinets.
