Rascal
Rascal, n. A fool considered under another aspect.

doug: I would've said that Jack would call the Tok'ra something else, but I thought that Jack would be confused with schnoodlepooh. Col. Jack O'Neil (Richard Dean Anderson) was the leader of SG-1 until this season. {{sigh}} Anyway, Jack O'Neil isn't too fond of the Tok'ra.
