Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Ok ....so I'm watching the discovery channel....who knows I just might learn something....Topic - Ice bergs and how they are breaking off from Greenland in greater frquency than ever because of SUV's....and then the larger icebergs are giving birth to smaller bergs ...and they begat even smaller bergs....rather ameobic....so the point is that large bergs are easy to detect on radar ....but the smaller ones hide in the swells between waves and ships continue to hit them....these smallest of the bergs are now called bergy bits....somebody call Websters....a new term has been spawned....Just thought I'd share this tid bit about bergy bits with you...

Art guy is sooo gay...right? Am I am IU? Right, though, not gay?

bergy bits
sounds like a cartoon - the anime of the arctic with a stand-up routine

or a gang of bergy bits
a musical of bergy bits
tap dancing their way along the sea

we've been calling them bergy bits since i joined the navy 22 years ago...i suspect its use goes back much further than that...sorry if i disappointed you

never mind the following ice-related terms:

growler
new ice
blue flash
ghost berg
ice lee
piling

I
am
a
bergy
bit
a
chip
off
the
old
ice
floe
as
cold
as
the
north
pole
in
vis
i
ble
un
til
hit
where
upon
I
shatter
into
little
bits
and
melt
away
