Not you. When I use slightly obscure English I try to remember that I am on
an international list and explain. I did in fact look up "tincy" to see
whether people could look it up for themselves, and even most of the Internet
didn't know it. So I referenced something that explained the meaning in
which I had used it - which was not as a girl's name! I used it in the first
place because you would know it.
And Ross hadn't given any sign of having understood what either of us was on
about. I thought we would get an ("Oh! Of course!")
Or maybe I just remind you of your Freshman English teacher. ;-) (I'm
probably old more than enough. Though I probably speak the wrong kind of
English.)
