I think the classic 'definition' is the child who murders his parents then
asks the court for mercy "because he is an orphan." I'm sure there are
others. This is a (I think) 'Yiddishism', a word that came from Jewish
culture, but I could be wrong about that.
I'm intrigued that he thinks even a mint OM-3Ti is worth over $2500; I'll be
moving mine into a safe deposit box soon... its going to be like Leicas, too
valuable to actually use.
