In back alley parlance, what is a cruciossetrix? (warning vile ignorant canard. Answer by PM on request.)

Dr Bill, far be it from me. But good to see you in your usual good form... hehehe

Dear ASp: Since I am very confident you never visited any such vile alley to hear the ignorant argot, I think it quite possible that you are pretending comprehension, which Faldage also has lived too properly to have encountered. A psychiatrist has to know all the dirty words, to know what patients are talking about.

Whilst in the US a few years ago i played trivial pursuit with some friends ( US version ) when any US sport question came up i just said "BABE RUTH" every time, i seem to remember being correct at least once!

"BABE RUTH"

So if I'm in an English speaking country and I'm playing Trivial Pursuit I should answer every sports question, "The Don"?

friend of mine has "Robert Zimmerman" as his generic answer, after it won him a round once.

So tell us, Max...what's Bob Dylan's real name? If you stick with this in the music questions, I guess you're bound to get one right! kinda like Hogwash®, eh, Max?

If anything happens in the US, it happens in Colorado.

Verdi and Mozart wrote all the operas.

...but I thought it was either Puccini, or else Carmen...
