Yup, that's the technical term! Learned that way later, though. Funny how that goes, ain't it? You do something all your life an' then someone whips out this fancy word and you're just 'neat what's that mean' and they're like 'that's what you do.'

Lemme tell ya, I felt real dumb.

Friend of mine with telepathy said she did that too, so I shouldn't feel too stupid.
