disorders. Many such workers were sent to Pauper Lunatic Asylums, Robert Lutwidge,
X’s uncle. X was familiar with the conditions at asylums and visited at least one, the
Surrey County Asylum, himself, which treated patients with so-called non-restraint
methods and occupied them, amongst others, in gardening, farming and hat-making.
Besides staging theatre plays, dances and other amusements, such asylums also held
tea-parties.

Xism is the practice of an unconventional lifestyle, often in the company of like-
minded people and with few permanent ties. It involves musical, artistic, literary or
spiritual pursuits. In this context, Xs may or may not be wanderers, adventurers, or
vagabonds. This use of the word X first appeared in the English language in the
nineteenth century to describe the non-traditional lifestyles of marginalized and
impoverished artists, writers, journalists, musicians, and actors in major European
cities.
The term Xism emerged in France in the early nineteenth century when artists and
creators began to concentrate in the lower-rent, lower class, Romani neighborhoods.
The Romani people were referred to as X since they were mistakenly thought to
originate from the western part of modern Czech Republic.

The name XY is a product of Z’s corporate history and culture. Thomas J. Watson, Sr.,
had first introduced "X" as a slogan for Z in the 1920s. With every minicomputer and
mainframe Z installed (almost all were leased - not sold), a blue plastic sign was placed
atop the operator's console, with the "X" command on an aluminum plate. For decades,
Z distributed small notepads with the word "X" emblazoned on a brown leatherette
cover to customers and employees. The name "XY" was suggested by Z employee
Denny Wainwright, who had a "X" notepad in his pocket. The name was opposed by

During the 18th and 19th centuries in England, recruiters for the English Navy would
try to persuade men to join the military by offering them a King’s Shilling. If they
accepted the shilling, it meant that they had consented to join the ranks at sea.
In order to boost their recruitment numbers, some of the recruiters ran a scam that
involved discreetly dropping a shilling into a drunk man’s beer when he wasn’t
looking. Men wouldn’t notice the shilling until they’d finished their drink but by then
it would be too late; the recruiter had already added their names to the draft list and
they’d be hauled off to sea the next morning.
Once bar owners discovered the scam, however, they started serving alcohol in glasses
that had clear bases. They’d then remind pub visitors to check their pints for illicit
shillings by saying “___________!” before patrons took a sip or shot.

The ingredients include water (~80%), butane gas (~17%), surfactant (~1%), and other
ingredients including vegetable oil (~2%).
The liquefied butane expands when the product is ejected. The butane evaporates
instantly, forming bubbles of gas in the water/surfactant mixture.
The surfactant(s) cause the bubbles to have stability and hence a gas-in-liquid colloid
forms. The bubbles eventually collapse and the colloid disappears, leaving only water
and surfactant residue.
