Target is Mystery-era jargon for the woman you actually want in a set. Everyone else is an obstacle or a friend. Later writers still uses the picture (who are you here for?) without requiring the club diagram.[1]
In practice
In practice: name the target in your own head. Do not announce it to the group. Isolation is how you leave the diagram.
HB numbers (HB8, HB10) are the same era's rating slang. This wiki does not rank living people on the Main Page.
