I just felt that this change would help to clarify. Kakashi-sensei 14:32, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
Hunkers: does it ot also mean kneeling down, when your hamstrings are touching your calves? i.e he was kneeling on his hunkers?
In the last page a reference is made to "conscience Whigs." Could this phrase be elaborated on or linked to another pertinent article? LicenseAppliedFor (talk) 00:02, 25 February 2008 (UTC)hi people
