field fesize
n.
The field was not just the grass playing field, but anything
green (apart from the walled shrubbery at our school which was out of bounds anyway). Every
year around April you'd wait for the whisper to go around - "field!" - which meant the
caretaker had decided we could go on the grass again. In a wet spring you might wait until
late May, and Field was banned again by late October most years. Ditch, however, was out of
bounds all year around, and thus the cool place to hide at all times. Going Ditch in winter
was the ultimate in "hardness", although you always got found out because of the mud.

Cryptic message from Jacqui, who suggests under Finger/Fish fingers, we could add the
explanation of Finger Pie, as found in The Beatles' Penny Lane, and blithely sung by many
people unaware of the "fingering" meaning to this Liverpool piece of slang. Would someone like to
explain what she means please?

"Five by Five"
n.
Affirmative response. Used as a complete interjective sentence
("Five by Five!") or as an adjective ("I'm five by five with that"). Meaning: everything's
okay, under control, copacetic, hunky-dory, etc. Earliest usage I can actually find for sure
is in the movie Aliens (1986). The way it is used there suggests a military evolution; it
may have been the invention of the writers but I doubt it. The phrase was also a hallmark
of the character "Faith" from Buffy: the Vampire Slayer, which marks its passage into
general understanding. (ed: we are interested in knowing if the phrase is any older than
1986?).

be repeated adding one stone at each throw until all five stones were thrown into the air off the
back of the hand, and they and the larger stone were all caught/picked up in the same hand.
