When speaking of the symbol '!' in different contexts what do people
say?  Examples:

	where	 what
	-----	 ----
	C code	"not"
	UUCP	"bang", "shriek", "exclamation"
	csh	"bang", "shriek", "exclamation"
	elsewhere ??

Of course these are not the only names, but they are the ones I am
familiar with.  Please let me know what you use (via mail), I will
summarize to the net if I get enough response.
