IOW I not a linguist but I play one on TV, eh?
I didn't figure that *all* linguists would know what it was, but I was hoping
that one of you guys might know. I was also thinking along the lines of all the

I'm figuring that it's a bunch of mumbo jumbo. But it would be nice if it
actually was something.
