I'll accept this explanation, and now that I've got a history, can
cleverly insert the word into my vocabulary in an attept to sound smarter
than my friends. :)

I'd never heard the term "bino" either, until recently, on this list witht
he DigiBino or whatever they call it.

And, because I like to hijack threads, I just registered a domain name for
my whole photo musing nonsense, eighteenpercent.com, and now's the time
where everyone tells me how witty and smart it is, so I feel good about
myself and my head balloons to enourmous size!
