[Rogue in the CFL?]

The actual term for a single point in the CFL
is "rouge"; however, it's commonly called
the single, or single point.

The term rouge fell into disuse in
the early 1970's (approximately), before
then that was the standard term.

Nobody around here seems to know how they got "rouge".

I think its disuse now is just like the way
convert is used less and less now - more often,
you here it called the extra point, or point after.
Same idea, I reckon.
