Also I giggle inside every time a football commentator talks about the offensive line opening "huge, gaping holes" or the defense getting "penetration."

He shoved his ramrod up the barrel of the rifle.

A ramrod is a metal device used with early firearms to push the projectile up against the propellant (mainly gunpowder). It is also commonly referred to as a "scouring stick". The ramrod was used with muzzle-loading weapons such as muskets and cannons, and was usually held in a notch underneath the barrel.

What a cockamamie thread. In your place, I would have this rectified post haste. We don't want to get the law involved, what with their subpoena and habeus corpus. To conclude with the tittle on the 'i' of this post, I shall spelunk once more into the depths of meaning and bid you, the dictator of this thread adieu. You, master of puns, are as rare as the blue-footed booby.

Cheers ! :)
