HOLY SHIRT

Just read your Deadpool 2 article. I couldn’t help but notice the claim that this movie “births” the term “shirtcocking”. It didn’t. The word has been part of the Burning Man festival circuit for at least ten years, as I discovered when I accidentally ended up in a camp there that was hosting the “2009 Annual Shirtcockers Ball”.
