Anyone without memorizing anything can quote rule 4 (Definitions). There are 44 sections. Think how far down in the alphabet the word you want is. Quote a number about that far toward 44. So for instance, Travelling starts with a T about 3/4 to 44 so around 33. "travelling is rule 4.33, coach" Even if it's 4.32 or 4.35, he's still going to be impressed, IF he looks it up at all. I always say it totally flat with no inflection at all. No emotion, like it's just another pop quiz. Y'all try it sometime!
