"A UK Couple Found Whale Vomit on a Beach — and It's Worth $50,000" https://www.yahoo.com/beauty/uk-couple-found-whale-vomit-153300276.html
My dad, who was in the Navy, when someone really pissed him off, would call them "Whale Poop, the lowest thing on earth, at the bottom of the ocean". For some reason, the thought of that makes me smile.
I ain't gonna tell ya ta start a jerkin.... but hey... ya never know what them scientists want. Don't forget to take breaks!
My dad was in the Navy and used that analogy as well...but instead of "whale poop", he called it "Grummy". Apparently, the word has a different meaning in the Urban Dictionary.
