Specktioneer
A specktioneer is really a whaling term. It's the title give to the chief harpoon flinger. Not my cup of tea at all, but an interesting word nevertheless. I was relieved that so many word imps managed to think laterally and find lots of different meanings for specktioneer. I'm pleased to say the voters picked my favourite again. I must be on track. Vicki B takes the honours today. Excellent work!
