    How does O win this one? She can hit a shot or win the race - 13 pips behind with contact and the better board should be enough.

    But there's market losers up the wazoo so I'd ship it. Especially since some will drop.
    "There's market losers up the wazoo." I'd never heard that phrase until I moved to Texas.
    And even there, I think I only heard it once.
    I know I could google this but I'm wondering which regions use this word. I certainly don't think people say it in England.

    Paul

    Ohio uses it. Just a synonym for ass. Like blow it out your wazoo, pain in the wazoo, etc...

    Stick
