But apparently not in this case here, so I vote Britishism. I wonder, how long before we all get spammed by people offering to sell us methionine?

Is there some little-known usage of the word "aging" I don't know about? Does it properly rhyme with "bada-bing" and constitute a variant of "agog"? “Ageing”..?
