WHAA!!? a nomination??...inappropriate comments??...'over a certain age'?? As a long time member of  my semantics and linguistics are are consistantly dead bang on and entirely appropriate within the parameters of this thread's discussion. On a U-boat, a torpedo was affectionately called an 'aal' or 'eel' even as it was called a 'fish' in English ie: "fish in the water"! One US boat was even named the USS Moray- as in eel. Anything above a dud as poor goaticus11's OP describes, would most assuredly result in the 'big bang' of 500 lbs of torpex; no theory about it! That twisted minds can have misconstrued my straightforward comments to some other darker interpretation of my well considered observation(s) and verisimilitude, is utterly appalling and below the standards of the forum FAQs...particularly regarding elder abuse!
