No problem at all!
An archaic term from the time that the Angle-ish language had not split from
the nodal stem in Jutland, indicating that the designated person had achieved
Valhalla. In modern parlance, he's up there with the Gods, feasting and
wassailing, mainly on Ram's bisi bele baath (sic, very very sic), meaning the
nectar of Rama.
Pleasure to be of help. Don't hesitate to call any time the old cultural
knowledge needs a little handling. Most of the list will be helpful, except for
morose, cranky old buzzards and mailing list fascists who are obsessed with top
posting, and who have names beginning with V and ending with i.
