In reply to:

BTW, I'm not generally called 'BYB'...

BY, as a former young snot-nose myself, I welcome your views; we need the perspective of some younger members. Of course, you will find that we mellow with age, although the prospect is probably nauseating at your stage of life. Fortunately, mellowing is a fact of life, and a damn good thing too, otherwise there would be no drinkable red wine or grain spirit, and the snot-noses would all beat each other to death.

This thread having gone to the dogs, can I briefly insert a note along the lines of its original subject?

An inhabitant of the queen city of the Patapsco River drainage area is often called a Baltimoron.
