My mistake - I was thinking of the Steinitz exchange lemming; so I should have said "What jumps off cliffs and states that if we have a spanning set of vectors S = {s1 ... sm} and set of linearly independent vectors V = {v1 ... vn}, then n<=m and it is possible to replace n elements of the set S with the elements of V such that S still spans." It's not so snappy though.

Um. . . Gram Schmidt lemming? (I always thought that was a process rather than a lemma.)

A mathematical limerick. How nice. Doesn't quite scan properly, but never mind.
