"Come on and do it, do it, do it 'till you're satisfied. Whatever it is!"
And if we get everything right it will, oddly enough, make relevant comments I made today in another context regarding the origins of the button flap seen on the back of long underwear in cartoons of a certain vintage. I would paraphrase, but that would be veering severely off topic.
Oh, what the hey, it's almost November, the dancers are back home:
".. the TRULY significant concern about the issue which you raise is not about nomenclature, but rather pertains to the obvious purpose of said 'thingy'. There are two things to consider here. First, one must recognize the first signs of the onset of the phenomenon which prompted the original inventor/designer to make the flap in the first place. And THEN, just as importantly, if not more so, one must know what to do with the ensuing products. This raises other concerns and issues which are all considerably above all our pay grades. As an aside (AKA "sidebar", for those of the judicial or legal persuasion), in certain parts of the Ozarks, on either side of the MO/AR line, this device is most often found useful in the "Bend over, have I got a surprise for YOU!" ruse..."
This might actually be relevant in the thread about tubes and quarks and the expanding tube theory...
