    Taught- past tense of to teach.
    Taut- to be tight (pun on the rope thing- geddit?!). Also used as maritime slang as a 'taut ship' - having a good crew- which by recent accounts, I am not yet proficient .

    48 tucks per eye. Any less would be irresponsible, no matter what stated intended purpose might be.

    Ha ha. It's not for any Land Rover, and it's just a standard splice.
