Stop that right now! We'll be in a friendly port before you know it
and there won't be a clunker in the bunch. ;o)
Ah, but mine was a play on words.
You remember the old coal burning furnaces?
You used to get small cinders out of them but the big pieces were "clinkers" because that was the sound they made when they struck each other. "Clink"
I guess I'm dating myself.
Sorry, I don’t remember those! I’ve heard the term before, though. :)
Living here in the South, I don’t think even my older relatives had many coal furnaces! Perhaps it is a regional thing?
Remember burning coke rather than coal? Now THAT’s old... :-)
