Just a slight correction:  the word was actually found by Anne Silas, the
tenant in the other side of Bjorn's duplex, while browsing through her copy
of the Oxford English Dictionary.  (I was there.)  However, I think it was
Bjorn who decided that if there was a word for it, it must be done, so we
have him to thank for popularizing the custom.  (And thanks also to Master
Michael, who has presided over more spang-hewings than I can count.)
