Sigh.  This was in response to an earlier article that mentioned
a "high zoot custom O/S"... The original should have been spelled
"high-zoot custom..."

High-zoot is a back pointer to a 40s style of counterculture
high fashion (originally amongst Los Angeles Hispanic males,
manifesting itself in elaborately-cut suits with *wide* lapels,
loud *wide* ties, full baggy cut pants and jacket and varying
amounts of shiny chain(s) dangling about.  Sort of the absolute
opposite of a military uniform of the period.

Therefore, a "high-zoot" mumble is an elaborate, fancy, out-of-
the-ordinary mumble.

Now back to our regular...um...programming. :]
