Thanks, Stick. Now that I think about it, I believe I have heard the term before.

Mochy, nice blog post! The only English mistake that I found genuinely confusing was when you said that "Double Jeopardy is very rare" when you meant to say that "Avoiding Double Jeopardy is very rare." "Avoiding" is a negative term so if you leave the word out, it reverses the meaning.
