Vang

Okay. So vang is a nautical term which will probably only make sense to the nautically minded. Vangs are the guy ropes that go from the end of the gaff to the deck. Any the wiser? Again, the blog meanings seemed far more interesting. Gregory's acronym was the favourite with the voters. Good thinking, Gregory!

I think vang is the names of one of the types of snow. It's not the soft, romantic variety, instead it's cold, driving and unforgiving.

Simon set out into the vang snow, wondering if he would ever reach his destination.

Wow Gregory, what a great definition! A vang is a very small dent in your car, usually the result of a very minor collision, or getting a bit too close to a trolley in the supermarket carpark. a vang is not worth getting fixed, but annoying nonetheless, because even if no one else can see it, you always can.

Vang is when you bump your elbow or shinbone in winter - its a hard unrelenting pain and your breath leaves your body in a whoosh and you double up in pain and all you can breathe out is

" Damn I got vanged yet again ?!"

a vang is a very small, but indispensible metal spring that you might find in a cupboard hinge or other common household bit of hardware -- you only know about its existence after it falls out and/or breaks and the hardware no longer functions as it should.
