Um:  What does "Sherwood" mean in this context?

****Oh dear, have I gotten that wrong? I thought in the FAQs, Sherwooding

Carat?  I thought that was a measurement of fineness in gold?
**** Yeah, carats, like brilliance in diamonds. My mind is now working in 
negative carats. OK, smarty, I meant caret. (-: You jerk my chain, I'll jerk 
yours. Sorry for any confusion.
