Yabut, "aluminumy" just doesn't roll off the tongue.:happy:

Check -

OH Christmas boat OH Christmas boat, how your transom is so shiny! LOL

Thanks for the reminder...I actually need to buy a tinny for fishing. I hate the word 'newby'.

From Wiki - ""tinny" is also commonly used as slang for a small open aluminium boat[FONT=arial, sans-serif]." Origins from New Zealand / Australia.[/FONT]

[FONT=arial, sans-serif]Also saw reference to Tin foil and aluminum foil being thought of as similar. Tinny sounds better than a Foil boat. [/FONT]

Never seen an aluminum tree....

never saw the Charlie Brown Christmas special?

I have one of each, the tinny is my daily use fishing machine, and my glass one is my project that just isn't getting any farther to completion. Never owned a solid wood boat, never will I don't think.

If it were the "King's English" it would be "al-U-min-i-um". If it's ok with all, I'll stick with tinny.

Yup....that's why they are toy boats, not real ones.

I was thinking more in terms of a Riva or a modern Hacker.

I've got a bunch of tinnies, and they will remain tinnies.

But if you want the kings english, then you had better get it right yourself.

They spell, and pronounce the word -- aluminium.

Hmmm, what is the origin of this word?? nitpicker (plural nitpickers)

1. One who nitpicks (finds fault in unimportant details) :lol:

Guy near me calls his "Tinnie" / "Aluminum" / "Aluminium" boat "The Big Turkey Roaster"

Dear Expidia,

We could create and post a specific forum rule regarding your boat's proper nickname and any offender's would be charged a significant monetary fine which would then be placed in escrow. At the end of each day we then can check the escrow account and donate the funds to a Recycle Facility that recycles aluminum cans.......... aluminum cans are directly related to aluminum boats

I like that idea!

The account should probably be nicknamed with an appropriate acronym to keep things simple and easy, I'll suggest "TEA" since it's memorable, has a good ring to it... (TInny Escrow Account :lol
