CLIK/CLEEK & NATIVE SPEAKER [was "FAG one last time"]

[Bob Haas]

Yep.  And I say "click" and "clickish," but that does depend upon the
company I'm keeping.  If I'm in some rarified academic atmosphere I would
probably use "cleek" and in all likelihood totally abstain from any attempt
at "clique-ish."
