- against the seriousness of the threat. A good example the classic "big
- brother gambit" which goes like this: Person A spits in your face. Person A
- is a wimp (sorry for the terminology folks-this is common American English),
- and the big brother of A is (choose 1:- around the corner, in the next town,
- halfway around the world). So A is the most immediate threat, and B is the
- serious threat.

- American practitioners have had on these arts as they are practiced here, I
