From my trade, "AttaBoy"! Remember 1 "Oh Shit"wipes out 10 "Attaboys". From my open wheel racing days, "Hero or Asshole" Hero, when you get away with a high risk bold move in/around traffic, more likely result, trip over fence out of park and everyone thinks, dumb ass, did he really think that move was going to work.

I was at my local drinking hole talking to a fiend, our discussion got around to “ the details and order of stuff”. After some talk he gave an example of the importantance of order.
