...but I did have to set it up for some administrative reasons. Since it's here, I suppose I should try something interactive. Let's see...
I've got it. I'll send a cookie to whoever (whomever?) can tell me what a flux pinner is and give a real-world example. Sorry, co-workers excluded.
No free cookie, but I would also appreciate help with the whoever/whomever uncertainty in the previous paragraph.

Flux pinner -
that which pins the flux
Oops - forgot the second part about a real world example. So let's try again:
Flux pinner - that which pins the flux.
Real world example - There is a college coed at Florida State who cannot keep any work study jobs because she just cannot figure out how to use a copy machine; she is thoroughly discouraged because she knows none of the fraternity fellows will want to establish a relationship with a girl who cannot even use a copy machine. To rescue her from her doomed social life, up steps the fraternity brother who recognizes her true inner beauty (even though she is not able to use a copy machine) and he asks her to go steady and wear his fraternity pin; whereupon she gladly says "yes" and he fastens his pin on her sweater, becoming an authentic flux pinner - that which pins the flux (aka: Florida Lady Unable to Xerox).
[P.S. - I really like chocolate chip macadamia nut.]
Flux pinner -
that which pins the flux
Something of a tautology...but yes. You're half-way there!
Real world example - There is a college coed at Florida State...
Sorry - no dice. And no cookie either. Oh, and you completely gave away your age with that example...
It is someone who spins flax into gold thread for the king (or is that a flax spinner?) Hmmm...I think a flux pinner is a specific material or alloy which is used in superconductors to keep the magnetic flux lines from moving, in spite of the Lorentz force exerted upon them. Ex: MRI machine. (I have to be closer than Jim is on this one. I prefer a straight up chocolate chip cookie!)
