[Rhodes22-list] Rum, was GPS

[Eaton, Gil]

While "rum" is listed 51 times in the dictionary, both alone and in
association with other words, every one of the definitions has the meaning
of "good". E.g., rum booze means any good wine or liquor, rum clout means a
fine silk, rum dubber means an expert lockpick, etc., etc.

Besides the common meaning of a particular spirit made from sugar cane, the
word rum itself is defined as "fine, good, valuable". Nor is there any
listing for "rum go".

Vic,
The best navigation aid is a large bottle of rum. If your GPS breaks or 
batteries die and your compass stops working, at least you'll have something
to 
ease the pain and possibly give to someone coming to your aid.

Rummy
