This has probably been mentioned a long while back,
but to "take a car [or anything, though it's usually
a car/bike]] out for a fang" is to take it out
for a "spin" or a "test drive" or a "burn"...and
so on. Basically, to take something new for a
thorough (and fun) test or run.
I guess those who "Fang" take their "Fang" out for
a "fang", so it's entirely appropriate. I don't know
if, like "goss", this is another item of Antipodean
terminology though.
Doro, do something weirdly Zuikoholic-amazing/-unique
- then we can give you a good rap by giving whatever
you did a good "Rapp". How about sending every item of
your OM-kit directly to me, gratis. That'd be worthy
of a "Rapp" <grin>
