Asp or ASp: what's the difference? [seeking info. e] I've seen ASp (I think) in some urls, but have not a clue what it means.
as it's sort of an interval of a fifth (or either a localized smushing) of AnnaStrophic, it has to be ASp, hasn't it!?

I wonder: how does that make Max feel, Asp?
Hwæt?!
And that's ASp [/ahem].    
Hwæt indeed! I feel both flattered and slightly uncomfortable, having been reminded of the need to update and freshen the page.

Herewith revealing purpose of thread: Devise an index by which one might decide to what extent an expression supposedly rightpond has become adapted to leftpond use
Method: (a) Google the expression, note no. of hits (b) Google same expression, placing "uk au nz nu aussie brit british cockney" in "without" box, again noting no. of hits (c) calculate ratio b:a. The larger this number the more exclusively rightpond
Results: chav 8.1:1 chuffed 3.6:1 skint 4.7:1 leccy 3.7:1 leccy beach 1.6:1 GIYF 7.6:1 rubby 1.5:1 snogging 2.6:1 dog's bollocks 2.4:1
Thus "chav" is the hands-on winner, "rubby" the loser; though clearly all are predominately rightponders
Alright, the method is slightly haphazard but thanks all for the chance to try it out
