Poll question: What are you more likely to think of when you hear the word "caging"? |

Even if you don't know what it means yet, just tell us what you're more likely to think of.
Sub-question if you'd like to discuss: why do you think you picked your choice?
Another sub-question for discussion: how could someone think the choice opposite yours? What would their explanation of the term look like?

4. Never heard that word used before except in reference to wild.... |

...animals or out of control pets, "That dog needs to be caged". It is used in direct mail and also to control the vote now? Scary!

They used to call the players "cagers" from the days the court was surrounded by a cage. Don't know if this was to keep the ball from going into the crowd, or to protect the players from unruly spectators.
