ahahHAHAHHH! There are probably countless 12-year-old versions of your
formerly youthful self running around right now coming up with "new
annoying terminology" for you to scoff at from your rocker on your
porch in your neighborhood called Yes-I'm-Getting-Older ville. Welcome
to the "Well, when Iiiiiii was young!" segment of your life.

yep. i thought it referred to the jewelry at first - colorfronts
in fact show a big flat visible area - but i read this morning someone
noting he was buying an earskin "for [his] flat". i can understand (though
not condone) the misuse of "gauge", but how does flat make sense at all?
large piercings in the outer helix/scapha area is what they all seem to
call the "flat", but the area isn't generally flat, & certainly isn't once
you get to the larger gauges.

They probably learned it from a middle-aged teacher who tells them it's okay
to misuse terminology, but swears he never does the same.

Funny, that teacher never figures out that he should be the teacher, and not
take his cues from teen-agers.

Really, they laugh about him behind his back.

Sorry if this formats weirdly

Maybe they think it looks like the "flat" pieces in hot wing
portions. Not the drum, but the flat.

Who knows?

Then I'd say it's the latter.

Martin Barre had some elbow surgery before Christmas and is doing fine,
strumming with just the stump. Doane Perry is considering surgery for a
variety of complaints and the results might be interesting. I am not
having surgery but I did have a haircut. Didn't take long. -Ian Anderson
