>Another Carnaby Street special is Fab. Two years ago I would have felt a complete pillock saying something was "Fab". Now it's close to my favourite expression of approval,

Dear sjm: You have led me to the solution of a mystery. Quite a few years ago
I used to prowl through hundreds of acres of forest surrounding a public water supply.
There were empty houses still standing in a few places. One of them had a very
decrepit Chick Sale, with an elaborate enamelled blue and white street sign
"Carnaby Street". I could not imagine what significance it had.
Your post promptem me to search and find origin of that name. Thanks

from my hazy recollection of "A Stranger In Strange" (i read it in the 70's) the term GROK was used to describe the custom the Aliens had of eating the remains of friends or family who had died. This was a sign of great respect and their way of understanding that person totally.
p.s one of Heinlen's better reads

Don't trust any one over thirty!
I don't trust any of you, in fact I don't believe this entire thread.
