I've got to ask this... since the founder of VISA is Dee Hock, is there any connection with his name and the term "Going into hock" ?
note: I looked it up and it appears not - but I was hoping it would be up there with 'Bobbies' (British Police, 'Peelers' prior to that) and "going for a crap" (the toilet) for slang terminology created from the inventor/instigators name.
