[QUOTE]Originally posted by Callan: [QB] When I was a mere slip of a lad one said 'jinx' rather than 'snap'. This is, of course, OT. As in 'off topic' as opposed to Old Testament which Molopata has correctly identified. NT stands for New Testament. One occasionally comes across references to 'The Plot'. Which is what we call the Orthodox Church around here. More rarely one encounters references to the 'Italian Mission' or the 'Italian Mission to the Irish' which is a reference to the Catholic Church. Catholics occasionally respond with less than flattering nicknames for the Church of England which tend to fall flat because they aren't as funny. ;) The unwary should note that The Plot is offence-neutral whereas references to the Italian Mission tend to be construed as unfriendly.
