	Mike in Japan  #8384  Thu, 18 Sep 03 01:33 AM Hi Candy, I suppose if you wanted it to mean scary, you could say "white-knuckling", but it would be a little odd. Just as a matter of interest, where did you come across this expression? It is not very common in everyday English. :p    Mike in Japan Joined on Tue, Aug 19 2003 Hazzard County, Japan Rank NA (4,349) I do like to be beside the seaside

	candy  #8459  Thu, 18 Sep 03 05:02 PM Mike, I also can't get the meanig of Low Key Photo...!? In answering to your question, I found these hyphenated words and sentences in my text book. Actually, as you say, I really don't need these confusing hyphenated words in my daily English    candy

	Mike in Japan  #8486  Fri, 19 Sep 03 01:25 AM Hi again Candy, Here are a couple of links that should help to explain 'keying' with regard to graphics. Oh, I'm really sorry if I seemed to imply that you don't need to understand such expressions. You should be commended for your efforts to aquire a complete knowlege of the, (sometimes bizzare) English language. [link] [link] Have a great day    Mike in Japan
