From the December 17 Grant's:

The technique by which the Fed has added some tens of billions of dollars to the banking system since October 6 is called “repurchase agreements with tri-party settlement” (in which the Fed joins forces with a primary dealer and one of the big clearing banks). Benjamin Strong, governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the 1920s, used a more pungent phrase to describe a credit expansion that the Fed engineered in 1927. He called it “a little coup de whiskey to the stock market.”

LOL!

P.S. Strong was a clown. I hope that in the Depression he was destroyed.
