Speaka da Ingleesh?

[Guest]

Made the mistake of reading a thread called "A trick for those new to the game...".
in the PBO Reader To Reader forum (29 Oct).

Posted by a stick/rag fundamentalist, it quotes things like 'sheet', 'leech', 'snaplink', 'snatch block', 'second locking cam cleat', 'genny'.

Duh?


I'd be interested to see if any of you elders can come up with a suitably bamboozling sentence related to motor boating.

Best I can do is 'sharp end', 'blunt end', 'engine', 'forward', 'reverse' ...

That's the trouble with you stinkpots - no sense of tradition!

Don't forget "left" and "right"

Oy! I was partly to blame, you cheeky git! Buy a nautical dictionary! That should put the "cat mongst' pigeons" so to speak!
