A translation of the Dutch term for a junkyard (autokerkhof) is 'automotive
graveyard', which certainly leads to some interesting connotations for those
of us that occasionally shop there...
"Igor! I ask you to bring me a head, and what's this? Hooters? HOOTERS? Have

<<Calling a valuable source of supply a =93Junk Yard=94 demeans the source,
and the purchaser. We really need a more up-scale term, commensurate with
our valuable restorations.>>
