I've always thought the word for a homemade knife, usually one made in prison, was "shiv." Lately I've been hearing "shank" used for the same thing. Are both correct? If so, how are they different?...

I know that "blue language" means profanity, but what's the derivation of the phrase? Related to "off-color?"

What exactly is a "throwaway line" (in comedy) and why is it called this?
