I had noticed that when I first read _The Hallowed Hunt_ (a few years
ago), but assumed at the time it was just a mild expletive invented by
the author, perhaps an elaboration on "drat". But then, reading it in
the context of the list, I thought "anagram" and "defeating
nannyware"... And chuckled at the tought it made its way into the book. ;-)
