In Emulation, during the Exhortation, the Fc who is being raised is only advised of four of the FPOF.

I'm not really with you there Offramp...in the Exhortation, he isn't really "told" anything, but shown...in the Charge, they are all demonstrated and explained.

In the Scots ritual, the FPOF (Effpoff? Had to think a minute what they could be) are demonstrated all together while the Conferring Master recites a little commentary in rhyming couplets, ending on "MTE", when the MW is communicated at LB.

This is especially memorable because of the number of times in practice runs that the Conferring Master has accidentally substituted "MTM".

Talk about "Step aside and satisfy me"?!
