This Activity Needs A Name, And We’re Just The People To Give It One

This Activity Needs A Name, And We’re Just The People To Give It One


We can’t leave this to the usual suspects to name. They name all male activities pretty badly. “Football?” Come on, that’s tantamount to insinuating that placekickers are important or vaguely masculine. They shoulda named it headbonking, or concussion derby, or “I’m not holding, honest.”

We could call it sluicing. Nah. How about guttering? No, that one’s taken for the morning after Saint Patrick’s Day. Weir jumping. I like that a bit. Grinding my kayak down to a nub has too many words. Canal crashing?  Channel slamming?

I know. Ditch-it-deroo.

  3. I think we have a winner…The Lad’s been “Swailing” for years now, except doesn’t need water or kayak; he just needs the concrete swail down our back hill, a bit of residual dirt, and some dress pants, usually about 5 minutes before we have to go somewhere.
