I sometimes wonder how olde those terms are too. I'd like to think they've been around since the 18th century, but you never know.

Somehow I wound up electroplating for a year and a half and that occupation is riddled with terminology that surely must date back to the days of alchemy.

And then there's sailing...

The nautical terms are definitely old and have legit etymologies, except for terms like "down****er" for foreguy.

That ain't the half of it. The turf war battle between the mockingbirds and crows is savage, with most of the aggression on the part of the much-smaller mockingbirds.

Usually alive according to the dictionary (had to look up the word):

a person of a specified kind, especially one regarded as unfortunate.
"he always was an unlucky wight"

In both cases, the smaller birds are far more maneuverable. It's like fighter planes going after a bomber, but with the bomber not having turret guns.

Is there one amongst us?

Alternatively: a spirit, ghost, or other supernatural being.

Yes, I see mocking birds attacking crows from time to time. Also the cats (when they were around).

Very bad behaviour by our Tennessee state bird. :(
