Well I was in Rome last week and it is refreshing to see that all of you were able to maintain the highly technical and refined ambiance of this forum in my absinths. In one of the introductory courses of Dewey 101 is word history and rules for use. I am aware of the term but have spelled it cafoufle( spell check says kafuffle or caboodle). This makes it a colloquial idiom, which is fine for local and/or colorful speech and Deweyisms; however to be an acceptable technical word we will need to establish a correct spelling and definition. I will gladly champion (no syntax without representation) it's inclusion in IPC-T-50 when that is accomplished.

We recently experienced this for the first time (that I ever recall) and it caused a small kerfuffle and some embarrassement on my part. Thank you (from one lurker) !
