Never heard of it either, Martha.
Oops that was me: I guess I made a globster of that one.
Oh, and we have many words in our own Word! queue, but "globster" will be up next after them.
I'm a landlubber, so I guess I never knew there was a need for such a word.
However, I have read enough pirate literature to know the difference between flotsam (goods or wreckage from a wrecked ship), jetsam (goods deliberately cast off from a ship in distress), and lagan/ligan (goods attached to a buoy for later retrieval). But you probably knew that already.
Martha, thanks for your cool site!
That is fascinating. So was the "Blob" of the famous movie inspired by a "globster"?
