Oh, no--you can't mean it's something as simple as Ask It Yourself. "...it yourself" was the first thing I thought of, but couldn't think of anything suitable the A might stand for. Ask? Na-ah--makes way too much sense!

OK! Good one: . Thanks, Aniam. I just read your post on having succumbed to making words up, and thought, "onhagn". ("Oh, no, he's a goner now.") FWIW, I give you my permission to make up all the words you want to; after all, I make up my own rules for grammar! When my son was very young, sometimes his emotions would be stronger than his ability to express them. One day he was very angry with me for not letting him do something, and he looked at me and said, eyebrows practically down to his nose, "You...you...meaniac!"
