Sorry. I'm still learning how to do that italic font thingy. I didn't mean for the portion of my last post after the asterisks to be in italics.

Off subject:

Not that this has anything directly to do with the subject of this thread...but since I'm here, fwiw, the opposite of "lame", "tired", "weak", "jive", "sorry", etc is "hot", "the bomb", "off the hook", "off the chain", and new phrases that I'm not hip to.

"Cool", "hip", "out of sight", "dynamite", "smokin" {as in "That song is really smokin"} and a host of other superlatives have been retired by most African Americans. But some or all of them may still be in current use among other Americans.

Btw, note the connections between "hot", "smokin", "dynamite" and "the bomb"...

There's a method to this madness...
