[Leica] IMG: get around Politically Incorrect terminology - speak Yorkshire dialect!

[mark at rabinergroup.com (Mark Rabiner)]

And to further lighten it up here in NY they are Guys and Dolls.

When you meet a gent paying all kinds of rent
For a flat that could flatten the Taj Mahal.
Call it sad, call it funny.
But it's better than even money
That the guy's only doing it for some doll.
