Re: [Callers] Yearn

I think usage and the folk process has led to yearn meaning head off as a couple on the (left) diagonal towards a new couple then do what the caller says, usually either back off straight so that they are your new neighbours or back off on the next diagonal to make the next couple your new neighbours. We have slices, double slices and half slices as well. I think this is similar to the way that you have to be careful whether you say half a ladies' chain, a ladies' chain, or a full ladies' chain depending on the context.
