| MANKEY | Muck Abounds, Nearly Kneedeep - Everything's Yucky |

There was a lot of knee-high silt/mud/decaying-vegatation at the bottom of the pool which was nicknamed 'mank'. The scouts thought that they had coined a new word, but there was probably some subconscious reference to 'mankey' Sports & Recreation:Scouts |
