I like your definition of 'idiolect' :-)
Where the hell did you get that from?
I'm not known as 'The Queen of Crap' for nothing. Before blogging I used to get bored between chapters, I got a whole bag of 'Minx Terminology'. The last one I did was about Homework and a friend's son put it in the school newsletter. The Head added a disclaimer at the bottom telling the kids that it was in fact a JOKE!! Oops.
