@oddletters the moment you say those words i know what you mean so it seems like effective Terminology

@oddletters It is the "Related" division of the "YTD Watch Flexy" if you include the "chips" from the top. If you don't include the "chips" from the top, then it's just the "Watch-Next Secondary Results" division.

@oddletters I assumed as much! I think "recommendations sidebar" is what I have seen used but frankly I love gutter

@darius i just started calling it the gutter because that's what that empty sidebar in newspapers is called? the double entendre is a nice bonus.

@oddletters related terminology I was just telling someone else about this morning is the "chum box" (huge CW on the following excellent article for skin-crawling imagery https://www.theawl.com/2015/06/a-complete-taxonomy-of-internet-chum/ )

@darius @oddletters Dang you're not kidding. Did they _have_ to pick examples that use lotus-seed-pod images?
