"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So it's more like demolition derby handiness than This Old House handiness.

I'm afraid the next time I see you there will be hooks on the ends of your arms.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

no, I don't think. It would refer to the header and, say, some stuff on the side, and maybe a footer collectively. Everything that stays the same regardless of the page you have open. I really feel like I should know this! (But, I haven't really written about a ton of web apps...in my defense.)

Are you talking about a webpage with frames?

We refer to the sides as the gutter, and then headers and footers at...well, the head and foot.

I ... don't know? It's got a header and stuff on the side that stay the same but the middle part changes depending on what page you are on.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Now that's a ruin.

Creepy Mental Hospital!

Ok, those rooms with the scratches on the walls? Freak me right the fuck out.

"Skin" as a term is gross to me but is that right? At all? (and thank you all for helping me do my job. owe you drinks!)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's got a header and stuff on the side that stay the same but the middle part changes depending on what page you are on.

It depends on how the webpage is built, though. Though "frame" isn't a real user-friendly term for most audiences.

Header and sidebar? I'm not sure there's one word to describe both of those.

Gutter! Gutter!

It's just a fun word.

The scratches are very creepy.

You know what's cool, though?
