I hope there are no ducks in the report, or I'd have to shrink them.

Some years ago Famous Fan Artist D West drew some ducks for Famous Fan Editor Yvonne Rowse. They were a bit big for the space, so she shrank them to fit. West was Famously Annoyed, in an "If I had meant the ducks to be smaller, I would have drawn them smaller!" sort of way.

Rowse is now known as "duckshrinker", a word which has no hits on Google.

IOW, as Steve's report will contain much art, I would like to check before unilaterally reducing it.

Aha. More obscure fanspeak for me to document. How's this: http://fanspeak.org.uk/Duckshrinker

Heh! I don't know that it's been applied to anyone other than Yvonne, or that anyone would dare risk it!
