Truce terms I happen to have been looking at recently in DARE's
database. The most frequent term, 332 informants, is time out,
which while scattered throughout most of the country is most
frequent east of the Mississippi River. Complementing this is
the next most frequent response, 265 informants, king's ex, a
beautiful map which will appear in vol. 3, showing responses in
Ohio, Illinois, the Mississippi Valley, and west of this -- the
Atlantic coast is almost completely without this response. The
next most frequent responses are time (83), times out (56), times
(53), king's (23), and free (11).
In Southern Alberta, 'time out' and 'king's ex (or X)' were both common on
the 50's. I'm pretty sure I also remember 'time,' 'times out,' and
'times.' I don't think I've ever heard 'king's' or 'free.'
