Flipping through the pages I ran across this in the Nautical Terms section of the book. As true a it may be, I found it kind of funny too........

"The natural, proper use of correct terms is much to be desired; strained efforts to effect a salty lingo are conspicuously inappropriate."

In any case, if some Wingturd suggests I get my boat made fast to a dolphin, I'll know that he wants me to tie up to a series of connected pilings.
