Hey, what are you, a William Safire? Bill is deadly serious about the English language, even when he's commenting about something as racy as a G-string.

I plead guilty for stretching the meaning of this term, in the 4-words per post story thread. That is a work of fiction, right? It is obvious I have lived a sheltered life. Fat Abe has never set foot on a beach or inside a strip club. Two feet, maybe.
