I, of course, as in all things, invented the common usage of 'precious' at the end of the question on the Q thread, in homage to Gollum and taters.
Oh, I always thought it was in homage to Sam Spade. LOL Sam frequently called his secretary "Precious" and occasionally the other women in The Maltese Falcon. :)
