[Dixonary] Round 2836 - CAPTAIN COOKER time to vote

Hi all

We have a baker's dozen of definitions for our word CAPTAIN COOKER,
including one from a reputable dictionary. Please vote for two.

1. The boss.

2. [Slang] Rolling paper for cannabis smoking.

3. A drink of rum or brandy diluted with lime juice.

4. A tropical drink of dark rum, vermouth and pineapple juice.

5. Someone who claims descent from one of the first European settlers
in New Zealand.

6. A wild pig [From Captain James Cook, who first released pigs in
the New Zealand bush]

7. Slang for a person who is an explorer, whether in the geographical
sense or in a scientific sense.

8. The annual raising of the New Zealand flag at the site of Captain
Cook's death on the island of Hawaii.

9. A slang term for steamboats plying routes between Australia and
New Zealand in the late 19th Century.

10. An amateur sailor who takes long voyages, esp. to Pacific islands
(after Capt. James Cook, RN, who explored the Pacific in the 18th cent.)

11. A device invented by the Royal Society to observe and measure the
transit of Venus on Captain Cook's first voyage aboard the Endeavor.

12. A ship's galley adapted for steam. [in the days of sail the wind is
mostly from behind so the galley is near the forecastle; with the
introduction of steam the prevailing wind is from the bows so the galley
was moved to the stern]

13. A heat storage stove and cooker that works on the principle that a
heavy frame made from cast-iron components can absorb heat from a
relatively low-intensity but continuously burning source, and the
accumulated heat can then be used when needed for cooking.
