[UA] Name needed for new school of magick

[Malagigi at aol.com]

Go right ahead... I wasn't planning on trademarking them ;)

I favor "puke queens" myself.  It has multiple
interpretations, depending on which gender you're applying
it to.  Plus, slang terms like that are usually imposed
from the outside.  Being deragatory is part of the appeal,
part of why they catch on, particularly within a sub-
culture as disdainful of the suburban utopic ideal as the
occult underground.
