Alexandre,

> You can look things up, you know.

I do.   I tend to spend quite some time googling for information.  Its just
that in the course of our conversation I didn't consider it to be
out-of-context.

But yes, I could have thrown it into google and than ask myself which of the
humongous ammount of "results" would have the actual answer.  :-(    Its
just that asking you seemed more straight-forward.

Thanks.   I see its likely a corruption of a squeezed-together "Sharp Bang"
phrase.   Thats something I can remember it by.

I also see that referring to it with "hash bang" is not uncommon either. :-)
