yessss thinking about the hate toe: now if we can only weave the stupidity factor in there somehow, rate the level of moronic behavior that resulted in the "hate" physical deficiency....I think Phat would definitely win that one, hahahahaha, a curb at a rest stop while not wearing shoes w/ eyes half glued shut with sleepgunk, stumbling to the can...that ranks waaaaay up there, hahahahahadunkinguy wrote: adjective (word modifying a noun or pronoun) to describe painful wounds associated with our sport. For example, Kus is sporting a hate nose or, Phatbudda has an open sucking hate foot or hate foogina. Although my rib is healing, I often refer to my separated rib as the hate lump. Finally, after several days in a row at the Jetty most sailors get a very bad rash around the throat; back of the neck and sometimes in the groinodial regionitis. Most would call this a bad rash. Few people realize that the actual medical term for this condition is "hate rash" or, if it develops into a painful oozing sore, one might refer to this as the hate welt.
Oops it's a good thing that bear didn't maul me or I would have been the hate king in that category I guess

BAROCLINIC ZONE - A region where there is a large horizontal change in temperature, humidity, and or pressure, such as across a frontal zone. Baroclinic zones often form along regions of large temperature and humidity change and may precede the formation of a frontal system if those differences become sharper. The opposite of BAROCLINIC is BAROTROPHIC
AKA (JL) - weatherclinic and synonymous with the continuous invention of new weather terminology by those who remain mystified by the Pacific weather systems during their futile exercise of forecasting in order to maintain some level of sanity and self-worth

my favorite new word lately (encountered in windsport mag) is 'gaerial' which can basically apply to any unimpressive jump, especially a freestyle attempt.
"hey did you see my 1/2 spock?" "yeah, that was a nice gaerial."

ah, i gots one, hows about: Carpoolution
when you go through the painful driving around to pick various people up, cram all their gear into too small a vehicle, breaking boards/ battens and hole-ing sails/kites in the process and smelling everyone's morning breath to go sailing at a distant alternate spot only to have the local break go off all day anyway...just after you passed the 1/2 way mark of the journey..... Carpoolution
The ultimate combo is then the Carpoolution Skunk
