I'm sorry, I didn't mean to vex a tradition. I'll go knit a sweater.

OK. Now it's one principal. I know you know the right answer, tsuwm. Are you just trying to figure out which one is the best from the wrong answers? no, it's because I am well and truly stumped. I'm inclined to use Ockham's Razor here (however it's spelt) and/or follow wofa or Alex and vote for K or E. but I still have two(2) days. (I know, the wig one is even shorter; but I'm not buying anything to do with hair.)

So are you recusing yourself or are you going to vote for the most creative daffynition?

LIU is jargon, developed here as far as I know (AFAIK):
Look(ed) It Up.

It's shortened from YCLIU, You Could Look It Up, quoting the immortal Casey Stengel.

I will be posting results later today.

I look on LIU as a back-formation from YCLIU.
oh, here's a nother vote for K, if it's not too late.
