Saiso

'Saiso!' (and the followup - 'Kanaio?') was common around PNG the mid 80s,
but it seems to have become unfashionable around Moresby in the 90s.

I guess faddish epithets, etc, raise questions about whether obsolete terms
should still be noted in an updated dictionary. Do we have a policy on this?
(Apologies if I am covering old ground -- I've been coming and going and
may have missed some discussion on this....)
