From Automated Alice by Jeff Noon:

    "Alice! You must know what I mean!" Celia cried. "A horseless carriage
is what the people of the future call a carriage that isn't being pulled
by a horse."
    "Is that similar to a pianoless lampshade?" asked Alice.
    "Whatever's a pianoless lampshade?" asked Celia.
    "Why, it's a lampshade that isn't being played by a piano, of course."
