This is what I was trying to look up in Quinion. I hate to show such ignorance, but what, exactly, does this word signify, and where did it come from?

independent, outside the mainstream.

Indie - the famous auto races?

Indie: What undies may be called after a really SERIOUS wedgie.

Haaaaaaaaaaaa! Oh, 'tis very, very good to have you back, Ted! A very serious wedgie--this will take me downstairs now!

>The thong is ended


You know TEd, given how much this place is enriched by your presence, why not combine tasks - child-rearing and AWADtalk, by signing up your progeny? From all that I have heard of your loinal fruit, AWADtalk would be the better for the addition.
