Gaffa

[Bruce Gordon <bruceg@u.washington.edu>]

Hey, hey, 

	Thanks C&V for all of the preliminary meanings of the word Gaffa 
(except you didn't mention the former mispelling of the Israeli city, 
Jaffa :^) ).  

	Also, and I believe that it's in Couldbusting, that Kate, 
herself, mentions a part of her reason for using "gaffa."  It's in 
reference to gaffer's tape (duct tape to you yanks), used primarily in 
stage lighting and such.  Being a very sticky tape, it is incredibly easy 
to get tangled up in or "suspended," as the case may be.  Imagine a tyro 
trying to complete a big job that the person knows little about, that was 
the gist of what was penned by her K8ness.
