    Referring www.jargon.org [1] I don't find anything wrong about it, but 
    maybe they don't include all meanings of the word. On the contrary I 
    think it is a great name to use. It is like a potato. It can be used 
    with _anything_. :)
    
    But I sort of agree to skip the "y'all". That "suffix" should be 
    reserved for mails originating from tamu.edu. :)

    A brief test seems to confirm your victory statement. Thanks a lot.
