Just had to bring up Warhammer, didn't we. I too made that mistake way back when I was new here... And I still see the image when I close my eyes. Its hilarious, but its effected me. No one around here will ever forget it, thats for sure!
I was going to say I learned the real meaning of the word "Stroke" - and all of it's derivatives, insinuations, and subversive meanings.lamont:

I'm still not certain - a "stroke" is a careless diver who doesn't know that he/she is careless?

I learned BWOD
Stroke is a term that appears to have originated with the Woodville Karst Plains Project diving history and has ties to the early history of GUE (www.gue.com) and the DIR - Doing It Right diving philosophy.
The general idea is a stroke is wanna be diver who was sucking up or stroking the ego of one of the legendary founders of that group of divers. It has come to also associate with a diver who has the wrong attitidue toward diving (or one who is in disagreement with the philisophy of DIR). Other moch definitions translates as a buddy who might get you killed because of having the "wrong" training or lack of training. As a result some just translate it as "stroke" as in a heart attack waiting to happen.
