"Jacque Legg" -- Robbie, apparently you don't have a dog !
At piano tuning & repair school, any dubious technique was casually
referred to as being a "Jack-leg" repair, referring to the act
frequently performed by male dogs with weak bladders ... ;)

[ :)) Very good, Bryan! A friend found in an old, old dictionary:
[
[ jackleg - a blackleg (U.S. slang)
[ blackleg -
[ 1. symptomatic anthrax (a disease of cattle)
[ 2. a swindler, esp. a dishonest gambler [ but not a piano tech ;-)
[ 3. a strike breaker -- so called in opprobrium
[
[ Any others? It sounds British ... -- Robbie
