Is there some law that stops me from *calling* it that, so that people
outside the game can have some idea what some idea of what I'm talking
about?

Or are you just messing with me, because you feel that I'm so old that I
ought not to be making like I'm still hip to the jive?

Try to remember what Richard Pryor said: "Don't no young man get too be no
old man by being a fool."
