Boot Room Rat (The) :- Alex. A self-bestowed title
BK:- Corrie, as styled by Alex. I think it stands for Bollinger Kid, although in the same log he refers to her as Bollinger Chick. Some Gusts refer to her as Bol
Bus Shelter (The): - a conspiracy theory which began on the last voyage. It’s that Berrimilla never actually left Sydney harbour but that lots of salt water in buckets were thrown over a bus shelter while they e mailed logs from time to time and sipped Gargleblasters. Or maybe it all happened in a mock-up boat in Fox Studios. And this time?
BVS:- The Bolly Viciousness Scale. A system of classification first outlined by Corrie - or Bolly, as she is sometimes known - on 22nd April. The following is an extract of Corrie’s explanation:
The BOLLINGER VICIOUSNESS SCALE
The Bollinger Viciousness Scale is a scientifically proven method of rating, well, just about anything really, according to ferocity. It was first developed in 2006 in order to convey in simple terms just how ferocious a variety of Arctic wildlife can be. For example, at the top of the scale is the Polar Bear (very vicious when hungry)and at the other end, the Beluga Whale, totally un-vicious. Every other aspect of arctic wildlife can be included in the scale in between - A further example: the Walrus: appears vicious but is really big and cuddly and smelly.
Recently the usage of the scale has been increased and now an official Southern Hemisphere section has been developed. This can be used as an independent rating system or still with integrity as part of the original BVS.

Blurky: McQ’s invented word..”Its not quite black and not just murky- its that smudgy, fuzzy darkness where there's no discernable horizon but just faint wavy boundary lines in the clouds distinguishing between different shades of dark grey. Its a blurky night out there tonight. Now if everyone could incorporate 'blurky' into everyday usage, eventually I might get my own entry in the OED- cool!!!” May30th log. See also Cwampet
