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.'
