Maybe only SILH has been battling with them for so long that he has had to continually trawl around for any new euphemism for them - actually I've been using Lucy Locket for a long time - it's not new.

Another term that baffled one of the young pros was when I talked of hitting the ball 'out of the screws'. Then I showed him my Macgregor Velocitized Eye-O-Matic T85 Persimmon Driver (they did technology back then too it seems) - and that elicited a big - ahhhh...
I was a long time on a car forum before asking the question, what is rtfm? This was posted over and over again. Read the flippin manual . A terse reply, usually given by long term posters who got fed up seeing the same requests time and time again from people who could have found the answer in the manual but could not be bothered to check.

I can not account for your mind

There is a golf term I often see here that I'm unfamiliar with - 'fairway'. What the heck is that?

You have to have a special pass to play on that area. It's a certificate with code number preceded by a + sign.
It's a bit boring really. No spectacular scenery I'm told.
