Let’s get our vocab right, here

We, the residents of 9 Prospect St. (Liz Kolleeny '08, Anna Stone '08, Ty Moddelmog '08, Lauren Penneys '08, Ursula Grisham '08, Emmett Knox '08 and John Fleischer '08), are usually huge fans of Maggie Severns-O-Neill's words of wisdom in her weekly column "Cheat Sheet." This week, however, I feel as though she led the Dartmouth population astray.

Under the section entitled "So-Called (Sex) Life" (Oct. 19), she incorrectly refers to "slam piece."

The proper term is "slampiece," which refers to either the man or woman currently sharing your extra-long twin.
