Nov 3, 2023 at 17:20 comment added TimR on some device I have recommended that many of these questions were better suited for english.stackexchange.com as they weren't usually about current standard English but about argot, or phrases no longer in use, and ELL wasn't suited to that kind of question. This one was an exception.
