- tptacek 3y ago... and that was like, a couple hundred feet. The Titanic is at 12,500 feet. An unfathomable amount of pressure.
- tibbon 3y ago12500 ft is 2083.33 fathoms.
- interestica 3y agoThis reply is leagues ahead. What other nautical-related terms are a part of common speech?
- jackcosgrove 3y agoI'm tying myself in knots trying to think of one.
- elromulous 3y agoThese puns are so deep
- qzw 3y agoThose are two different meaning of the same word though, and the one in your usage is not specifically nautical, so I’m not sure it qualifies. But a good pun nonetheless.
