who the fuck's jack robinson? and why would you utter their name?

either Constable of the Tower of London, 1660-79, or Secretary of the Treasury 1770-82, the former known for swift execution of criminals, the latter for doing quick political deals.

Whichever it was replaced the phrase "quicker than you can say knife" which was a common phrase at the time.

Can't get it anymore. It is a controlled substance now because it is so highly addictive. Many people can never quit. Just look at how many google searches there are for "how to quit vim"!
