Today my brain decided that pulling the bar in the toe to heel tack is very much like the motion of pulling a horn (like on a steam train).
So now I am always yelling choo choo when doing the toe to heel tack. Also good to let people know you are turning
So I would like to propose to rename the tack to the “train tack”

Glad you found a good way to let off some steam. Nice analogy for bar position, maybe it should be called the Casey Jones!
