Guys and especially Razor.

It came to me attention that I used a term that was not understood.

I used the term "Shout Out" saying something like, "lets give a shout out to Razor...".

A shout out is a cheer. I think it was great that he answered Ben's question with what was IMNSHO a lucid, accurate and comprehensible way.

This is a term that my wife uses all of the time. You have to understand that my wife is African American so, without my knowing it, I am speaking ebonics.

Hope it did not create any confusion.
