    It originated as a trucking term, according to my professor in college. He was white though?

    Can you help me with the pronunciation of your screen name? Is it devious one, or is it d-viss one? I went with latter when I met you at the game.

    Would you ask a truck driver about terms that originated from college professors?

    Just jivin' ya. I have no idea what this thread is about. Maybe I'll read it someday when I'm old. My theory is, read only the last page, say something, then get out of town fast.

    well, he was all NBA 2nd team last year, which imho, is more impressive than an all star nod. Im betting he makes it again this year.
