I just got my new Swimming World and it said that FINA was looking at allowing a dolphin kick in the breaststroke pullout. Does anyone know the status of this?

I just looked the word up in the Dictionary of American Slang. It is "nit-picking" It orginated from picking louse eggs from your hair. Now it means being overly "picky" It is hyphenated. I always thought that it came from a woman piking at her stitches to correct them when she was knitting. Oddly, "nit" isn't in the OED. I thought that it woudl be but apparently it is too "American."
