It's short-and-sweet but I fear it has slight negative connotations.

It's quite possible I'm entirely warped from immersion in the culture
of Washington DC. I imagine the demographics of a free association
word game breaking down something like this:

California
New York
Massachusetts
Illinois
Olympia, Washington ->

"cut and paste"

"legitimate artmaking"


Washington DC ->

"cut and paste"

"dirty free-loading copying pirates without a creative bone in their
bodies"


Cyberspace ->

"cut and paste"

"ctrl-x, ctrl-v"


The Rest of America ->

"cut and paste"

"kindergarten art project"
