I'm looking to make a game with friends about unusual nautical terms or made up nonsense,

For example Gollywobbler - a large quadrilateral sail used in light wind

baggywrinkle - a soft covering used to reduce chaifing.

Whimstay - the aft most stay on a large ship, often used to counter the heeling force on a mast.
