Or rather...first thing I learned and retained.
I have no idea what made me think of this.
It was “hawse hole”.

Ah, but why is called a hawsehole, when a hawser is passed through it - why not hawserhole?

From late Middle English "halse" from Old Norse "hals" - the neck (bow) of a ship.

Was it the first time successfully tying my shoe laces, or was it following my plastic tug boat in the street gutter during a heavy rain?
