[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] [QUOTE]"Sweep Second"[/QUOTE]I'm not familiar with the books, so there may be something in the chapter in that hints at the name. A sweep second hand is what Vogon Poet was talking about; it's a system in some watches and clocks that moves the second hand with causing a "stuttering" effect. The other thing I can think of is when a team at a competition places second in all of the contests. That team is said to sweep second place. [QUOTE]secondhand?[/QUOTE]PsyLiam's got this one. [QUOTE]Jack Move [/QUOTE]According to the Ebonics Werdz Dictionary, "Jack Move" is basically the act of carjacking someone. He could be referring to that, or he might be talking about a telephone repairman who wants to move a jack. [QUOTE]The Absolute At Large[/QUOTE]The only reference I can find to this is that this is a science fiction story titled [i]The Absolute At Large[/i]. It's written by Karel Capek. The story itself deals with religious intolerance. One review I found for it called the story, "Very, very Czech." [/QB][/QUOTE]
