Fig -- could that come from the Latin/Italian/Russian/whatever expression _figa_, which is a form of manual expletive (comparable to "giving someome the finger", except it involves a closed fist with the thumb protruding between the index and middle fingers). In other words, you wouldn't give a f**k. DaW. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
