receipt
n.— «“Personally,” Flair says in his book, “I never saw dollar signs on Bret Hart.” According to Flair, Hart was too protective of his own image. “(Bret) could have been the president of his own fan club.”…That Flair finally issued what in wrestling parlance is known as a “receipt” should have come as no surprise to Hart or his fans.» —“Bret Hart has something to say about Flair’s book” by Mike Mooneyham Post and Courier (Charleston, S.C.) July 18, 2004. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
