There seems to be a whole class of exprs for which it's hard to find definitions, esp metaphors and blends. "Jackdaw", an example of the former, in the meaning of collector, is a typical example. Of the former, "sidetalk". In spite of 9000 Ghits, this expr doesn't appear in the usu dictionaries, except http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sidetalk...as UD, whatever else you may think of it, is often the first to recognize a new usage What's your opinion, or am I just rambling
