Context is everything. Two misleading quotes about Nobody (I was reminded of VN's examples of similarly gliding sense in SO, newspaper headlines, such as "torso beats chair,".or something like that)

"Nobody strolled and laughed on the sidewalks as relaxing burghers would in sweet, mellow, rotting Europe."
( Lolita )

"With the Devil's connivance I open a newspaper of 2063 and in some article on the books page I find:
"Nobody reads Nabokov and Fulmerford today." (Strong Opinions)
