Hi Worldwalker, et al,
hmmnnn... I don't know enough people with degrees in English lit to argue this point, though it does seem rather a broad statement.
Your later comment re defining the term triggered a Google search:

- some of the "definitions" are quite interesting. They tend to encompass just about everything that has been said in this thread.
So yes, nailing jelly to a tree might well be an easier task. <smile>
