Conversation gets jargony around here.

Me: Since when is Beep Beep an eight-person call?
Rob: It's one of those annoying ones like Dixie Diamond. It prefers --
Me: But it could! I had a wave!
Rob: (looks at screen)
Me: Ohhhhh, wait. I didn't call You All, I called Beep Beep. [pause] Well. THAT sucks!
Keyboard: undo

The only bit I just invented for this posting, of course, is the word 'jargony'.

Hold on, here . . . had you forgotten to call something else to get you into position for Beep Beep, or is it really a four-person call? And where in the world is it, anyway? I can't find it on any program up to C-3.

It's C4. It's Hinge, You All; that is, everybody Hinge, and then the centers Hinge while the ends U-Turn Back. From a box, gives a diamond.

I hadn't really forgotten to call something else to get me in position; my mistake was that I had vaguely confused Beep Beep with just You All. I called it where You All would have been fine. Then I couldn't figure out why the result was all wrong.
