    I wasnt sure on a few of those, Pottermore :confused:
    I knew what spooning was but thought it had to have become slang for something else, why would people not know that.

    Ebay and Amazon were my only two matches.

    It is almost always a good thing to not have anything in common with "most popular" lists. Unfortunately that's why democracy is focked.

    I know a lad that teaches it, swears by it, but in fairness he doesn't push it on anyone. He's from the US, and has sold out a few shows/lectures/trainings/whatever the f*** their called in Limerick. He says it's popular there.
