You've lost me on that one. The only thing I remember in general usage was the
"hell" box where small bits and pieces and screws, nuts and bolts were tossed
for future reference. Do you recall that the well known by-line used by nearly
every newspaper with hot-metal typesetting (Eaotin Shrdlu) was what you got by
raking your index finger across the top row of keys on the Linotype keyboard?

Linotype operators were forever ruined for typewriters.

I don't think a flounder has a GPS - so it wouldn't know (or care) if it was
off Cape Ann or the Outer Banks. I am pretty sure you know that the New England
refers to where the dish is common.

There are many excellent sources on the interweb.
