Default New Jargon

Hi again,
My friend Tony Latimer had a similar reaction. He has a pinky schooner, salty enough to rust your eyeballs, but no spreaders on the bowsprit shrouds, so no "whiskers," but "bowsprit shrouds" just seemed too prosaic a term. So he came up with "spritsherds", and refuses to call them anything else.
Fair leads,
Brion
