oh yer, i seem to remember Swizzle being an english(or yourshire/hull) slang insult. "Go Swizzle", sometimes acompanied by the middle finger, basicly means F U... I've never seen it written though, could it be "Swivel"?

edit: a swivel apears to be a device to prevent damage caused by twisting, turning or rotating, used in things like chains, mounted objects, such as guns, or oars on a boat, or the main shaft on a rotating chair, and is also some fishing device used to attach things to the line.

also, neither of these ways i've used the word Swizzle in on wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swizzle, or googling "Define: Swizzle"

VK probably got the name from here, in reference to his save game format:
Google 'Define: Swizzle' Wrote:In computer science, pointer swizzling is the conversion of references based on name or position to direct pointer references. It is typically performed during the deserialization (loading) of a relocatable object from disk, such as an executable file or pointer-based data structure. The reverse operation, replacing pointers with position-independent symbols or positions, is sometimes referred to as unswizzling, and is performed during serialization (saving).
