The most popular bridge convention (i.e. the game of bridge) to find a major suit fit after an opening bid or an overcall in No Trumps, particularly 1NT.
The most popular variation is a 2C response to 1NT asking for a 4-card major. It is important for the responder to have an answer to any response he may receive.
There are variations like Puppet Stayman which enables players to open 2NT with a 5 card major and still find a 5-3 major suit fit.

Using Stayman often promises enough strength to invite to game. But even if that is your understanding with your partner, you can play "Garbage Stayman"

A scaled-down version of a software product, offering only a limited set of features, often free, otherwise much cheaper than the full product.
This is often used as a way of getting buyers who are interested to pay for the full product when they wish to use the features that the lite version does not support.
Sometimes there is a lite version of a product that even has a free version with more features, but not everybody requires these features.

A chasm of men, apparently. Or a tale about Mark Foley and things he said, all of which were right (audience, please!), that all he wanted was a detonator and how Colin is a very pretty pussy cat.
