The res to whose speaking I'm referring is the current status of Classic (Edsel's baby) as compared to that of Beta (Henry's.) That res speaks for itself, I don't NEED to speak for it. Is what I'm saying. In southern Africa there is an expression in common use, "Six mabone!", which is an exclamation of approval. It means, "Wow, that's just great," essentially. Its literal translation is "Six lights." I asked an African friend if he knew the origin of the expression, and he did: The Edsel was a much admired car in that part of the world, and it had six lights-- so it is high praise indeed when something elicits the comment "Six mabone!" Your thoughts please.
