Alan,


Actually, at least in the south of France, that¹s not exactly how they use
the word.  It's really a slang for ejaculate.  I had a very funny discussion
with a gallery owner on my last trip there about that very word.  We laughed
so hard about how it looks and sounds to the French when the see it used to
describe a printing technique that we were in tears.
