I guess we can safely rely on the Yanks to corrupt everything with which they come into contact. T. - Colin, Actually it is not Jizz but GISS, which stands for General Impression Shape and Size, which was a system used by the British in WW2 for enemy aircraft identification. Jizz is an American corruption (another one) that has developed amongst US birders.
