@Soubresaut, it’ll never be the same. It’s gone. Like a whole lot of other things. I’m anticipating that some other word, whether a variant or a metaphor or a completely different term, will emerge to take its place in card games and other contexts, including the Bible.
I do believe that we have in the past year seen as definitive an end to an era as 9/11 was, marking an irrecoverable loss—not of innocence (that went a long time ago) but of some accepted standard of “normal” that we never thought we had to defend.
Cue Big Yellow Taxi.
