The message
from "Phil L" contains these words:

What's a 'scion'? - google images only shows 1,600,000 pictures and every
one of them is of a car.

A scion is a smaller branch growing from a stem. So the trunk has
scions, the scions have lesser scions, and those may have lesser scions
too, and so ad infinitum.

Applies to fleas too, but at least that rhymes with 'bite 'em...

I am a scion of Clan Buchanan, TAAAW, of many other clans and houses.
(And not a few hices)
