Also means "previously spoken about" - the other usage confused the crap out of me for a while.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Bespoke
1   "Hand made to order by a master craftsman" (Made to customer specifications...you tell him
                                                                        what you want and he will make it)

2   "previously spoken about"  (archaic speak to)

3   "Amateur wheel spoking action" (Ref: A-spoke professionally laced hub)

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
