I 'gotta water table-it runs right under my house. I used to get my water from it. And I avoid all the half assed terminology by using a Darne (edit-or, a Mossberg 500) which, defies Englishman terminology almost as if by design.
Once upon a time, a group of nincompoops sat around and came up with descriptions of groups of fauna, like "a charm of humming birds" or "a murder of crows". Anyone who wants to tell me to use the term "bore" instead of "gauge", or vise versa, would get along great with that group, I presume.
I don't mean that in a good way.
Best,
Ted
