Among my group of friends, we've successfully coined the term "Danish" -
of or pertaining to Dan. Since both I and my former roommate are named
Dan, it was somehow necessary.

BTW, what exactly is the IPA representation of the vowel in "Dan"
(American pronunciation)? In British English, I think it's a pretty
straight /&/. But American; maybe /&~/ or /A~/? Somewhere between? I
don't know. That doesn't seem quite right.
