Could someone please define the term 'flint' for me? I've seen this 
term used quite a bit but I really have no idea what it means. If I 
had to hazard a guess based on context, I'd say it's some sort of 
mistake in a text. Is that right? If it is, could someone tell me 
where the term originates from? Thanks :)
