Re: [DMCForum] ally = ?

[Farrar Hudkins <fhudkins@xxxxxxx>]

Ah, I see! (...said the blind man to his deaf son.) Well, I knew we were 
allies but I didn't know if there was a particular ally we were naming a 
metal after. ;)

One thing the U.S. doesn't have is rhyming slang, which I am fairly 
upset about. My relatives who came from England by way of Ireland used 
to use it all the time. I think it's marvellously poetic to say "Got to 
get home to the trouble and strife." But the Americans are just too lazy 
I suppose. LOL
