Message: [QUOTE="John W. Kennedy, post: 3113787"] The sense you meant is sufficiently known (as a British slang expression) to be in larger dictionaries, and I, though an 'umble Yank, already knew it from somewhere or other. -- John W. Kennedy "You can, if you wish, class all science-fiction together; but it is about as perceptive as classing the works of Ballantyne, Conrad and W. W. Jacobs together as the 'sea-story' and then criticizing _that_." -- C. S. Lewis. "An Experiment in Criticism" [/QUOTE]
