Hmm...pretty good dictionary you got going there, Hogmaster. Such an array of divergent definitions is rarely seen. May I please note that only two definitions among those listed above converge in a commonality of meaning, namely, J and D. Often this "coincidence" indicates a shared secret knowledge known only to a select few, and in this case, only two. Maybeso, but for this rub in the tub I'm rubbing with Musick and I too will choose L as I am often at the periphery of polite debates.

Disregarding, of course, the fact that it's flange, not phlange.

The Ancient Romans used lots of Greek words, in order to sound hoity toity rather than hoi poloi.

In my very humble opinion  , these niceties should be discussed *after all have voted, so as not to influence the results. [/roolz]
