               their longer and more pointed wings. The tail is
               usually forked. Most of the species are white with the
               back and wings pale gray, and often with a dark head.
               The common European tern ({Sterna hirundo}) is found
               also in Asia and America. Among other American species
               are the arctic tern ({S. paradis[91]a}), the roseate
               tern ({S. Dougalli}), the least tern ({S. Antillarum}),

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   Soundalike slang
  
      Hackers will often make rhymes or puns in order to convert an
   ordinary word or phrase into something more interesting.   It is
   considered particularly {flavorful} if the phrase is bent so as to
   include some other jargon word; thus the computer hobbyist magazine
   "Dr. Dobb's Journal" is almost always referred to among hackers as `Dr.
   Frob's Journal' or simply `Dr. Frob's'.   Terms of this kind that have
   been in fairly wide use include names for newspapers:
  
            Boston Herald => Horrid (or Harried)
            Boston Globe => Boston Glob
            Houston (or San Francisco) Chronicle
                     => the Crocknicle (or the Comical)
            New York Times => New York Slime
            Wall Street Journal => Wall Street Urinal
  
      However, terms like these are often made up on the spur of the
   moment.   Standard examples include:
  
            Data General => Dirty Genitals
            IBM 360 => IBM Three-Sickly
            Government Property --- Do Not Duplicate (on keys)
                        => Government Duplicity --- Do Not Propagate
            for historical reasons => for hysterical raisins
            Margaret Jacks Hall (the CS building at Stanford)
                        => Marginal Hacks Hall
            Microsoft => Microsloth
            Internet Explorer => Internet Exploiter
  
      This is not really similar to the Cockney rhyming slang it has been
   compared to in the past, because Cockney substitutions are opaque
   whereas hacker punning jargon is intentionally transparent.

   Economy
  
   Overview: Though foreign investment in manufacturing and information
   processing in recent years has increased Saint Lucia's industrial
   base, the economy remains vulnerable due to its heavy dependence on
   banana production, which is subject to periodic droughts and tropical
   storms. Indeed, the destructive effect of Tropical Storm Debbie in
   mid-1994 caused the loss of 60% of the year's banana crop. Increased
   competition from Latin American bananas will probably further reduce
   market prices, exacerbating Saint Lucia's need to diversify its
   economy in coming years, e.g., by expanding tourism, manufacturing,
   and construction
