I'm not sure how much Olympics you watched, but "wheelhouse" was a frequent attendee amongst the Canadian sportscasters' vocabularies. I've got to say I'm kind of disappointed that it merely seems to have replaced "bailiwick", a word I have always liked.
I have no idea if I told you that the name of my soccer team for the last 11 years has been the Star Spangled Monkey Machines. It was called that before I joined. The name came from a late night drinking session in which the participants gave each other the war-names they'd use if they were all killer cyborg commando monkeys. So all the original members of the team had cyborg killer commando monkey names of some sort. Not as good as yours, honestly, things like "Clambake" and "The Professor," but it certainly threw other teams off occasionally. The debt to your Jammers was obvious, and it wasn't too long before I was running Feng Shui for several members of the team.
Even at that then-young age, I was the oldest Monkey. Therefore named Silverback.
