Threadjack: Cromps, I could never quite put my finger on what made your posting style so unique, but it just hit me. You have remarkable talent in creating some type of KENNINGS. And what is a kenning? According to dear old Wiki,
Quote:
In its simplest form, it comprises two terms, one of which (the 'base word'), is made to relate to the other to convey a meaning neither has alone. For example... in line 10 of the epic Prose Edda, the sea is called the hronrāde or 'whale-road'.

(This is coming from the English major/Icelandic nerd, btw, so I understand if everyone is shaking their heads right now.)
So, rejoice in your nutswingers and home skillets!
