SIP and cliches

I'd like to have the SIPs algorithm to use as a tool, something like this reverse dictionary (24.68.170.164 19:05, 15 May 2007 (UTC))

fun discussion and list of ad SIPs

The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism by Max Weber, and From Max Weber: Essays in Sociology edited by Hans Gerth and C. Wright Mills: dueling corps, virtuoso religiosity, magical asceticism, expert officialdom, old civilized countries, civic strata, active asceticism, emissary prophecy, office prebends, certitudo salutis, ascetic conduct, capitalistic development. @ crooked timber
