Foot,

You sound like my HS English teacher whom I loved. Sort of like the teacher portrayed by Robin Williams in Dead Poets' Society I had two fabulous English teachers in HS.

Quote:
The problem is that it would be esoteric. People make up words all the time for all kinds of reasons. Its easy to do, and can be effective within your circle of associates. Challenges arise when you expect other people to understand what you are talking about.


I think that we would be addressing fellow musicians and, more specifically, BIABers, so an esoteric term should work nicely. I, for one, would not go to a Proctologist Convention and expect to understand terms specific to their profession. Esoteric terminology is, by nature, specific to the prevailing environment.
