My CICS guy just retired. He used KICKS or C-I-C-S depending on the
audicence. I've always used C-i-c-s, because that's what I heard first.
Now that I have to become the CICS guy also, maybe I'll have to start
using KICKS :( At least I'll sound like an expert. :)

Not at all. Robertson screws come in all of the same lengths, shapes and sizes
