[Callers] New word idea

Dear callers seeking alternatives to "gypsy":

My sister, Laura, suggested "compass" as an alternate term. I haven't used
it yet, but I think it could work well:

1. It has the same number of syllables as the word it's replacing,
plus distinct consonant sounds.
2. It's recognizable.
3. It makes thematic sense. Besides being an instrument that describes
circles, "compass" also  used to mean "go around something in a circular
course."

Let me know how it goes if you try it!

Caroline
