In an email brainstorming session with some folks here at Washington
State University, I was trying to come up with what to wear to the
costume party. In semi-desperation, I said I could always wear no
costume, and come as "man". Then I realized that I'd better clarify,
and added that "no costume" meant "street clothes" not "nude."
Another person in the conversation said, "No, because then you'd be
'strip'."
I then added that if I went nude to the costume party, I'd have to
figure out what would correspond to "ever-expanding white male gut."
The answer came from a third participant --- Emacs.
