Dear Barry (and the list):

This is an interesting development in the lexicon.  What can you tell
us of the speaker (especially: age, sex, education, etc.).  What he/she
a native New Yorker or from California?  A native speaker?  Can you do
some follow-up inquiry concerning where this person first heard or used
the term?

Regards,
David
