We're Swingin' Now

I learned a cool new word: Coxswain
It means "a person who usually steers a ship's boat and has charge of its crew" or "a person in a racing shell who usually directs the rest of the crew." Thus it can be used to refer to a leader or superviser, etc. It is the noun and the verb. I think that's awesome. From now on when people ask what Ken does, that's what I'll tell them. Oh, he's a coxswain over at the mill. Notice how much it sounds like cock-swing?
