I SO much prefer the TMTOWTDI philosophy than the other,
straight-jackety, feeling you get from some P languages :->

dictionary.com doesn't know about this meaning of "sledge", which is a
slang word (probably Australian, but understood by all nations that
play cricket) meaning agressive chatter in a sporting context, with
the intention to gain a psychological advantage.
Just clearing that up for our international audience.
The best ever cricket sledges are by Merv Hughes: "I'll bowl you a
#@$* piano, you pommie poofter - see if you can play that!", and by
Ian Healy: "You can't summon a runner just for being a fat @#$*!".
And now, back to regular programming (no pun intended)...

American's talk "smack" or "trash" -- which works well for those of us that use development languages with automatic GC. We need that.
Personally, I think we've spread more than our fair share of it around the globe, but my initials aren't "GWB," so there's little I can do about it but place my opinion in Usenet and watch get archived to a Google hard drive somewhere.
