Howzat
This is the question asked by a fielding team to the umpire when they think that they may have got a member of the batting team out

(from the BBC website, cos I didn't know either. I thought it was somethiong to do with that though, cos of the song: "Howzat! You messed about, I caught you out, howzat..." Sherbert, I think.)

That sucks. I don't have uni today, but a lot of home studying. In three days I get to perform in hideous public, including the major scene which I have rehearsed only *once*. ARRG!
