I hadn't heard those definitions of crimp before.
I think I'll start a new item, since this one has passed the traditional
cutoff of 1000 responses. (Though Grex seems to be able to handle the size
OK these days; it used to be that items got incredibly slow around this
point.)

OK, item 104 in the language conference is now the 8th edition of the
6-letter word game.
