My dictionary also suggests that "sandbagger" has a less defensive
meaning, too: One who hits another over the head with a sandbag. Ouch.
My question is, does anyone remember or know whether at any point in the
series, Burnside or anyone else explains why the Sandbaggers are called
the Sandbaggers?
Outside the context of the series, do we know whether Ian Mackintosh or
anyone else ever explained where they came up with the name? (And am I
right in assuming the nickname is entirely fictional?)
I'm looking forward to the list's answers, speculations, ideas, etc.
