Very true. And we can't figure out what the heck a "stone" is either, unless we're heaving it through someone's window.

(There is a social organization nearby for mental patients called Fortnighters, because when they formed (30 or 40 years ago) they met once every two weeks. None of the current members know why the club is called Fortnighters.)
