Sandmariner

Sandmariner: unknown. No one has any idea what a Sandmariner is, as it was the only word saved from the entire Oxford Dictionary of Useless Words during the great fire of the Oxford library. However, the creators of this blog have got together to determine what the definition of this bizarre word definitely isn´t.
1. Firstly, a sandmariner definitely does not make dirtwiches.
2. Secondly, it is without a doubt not a citizen of San Marino (those people are called fake Italians).
3. Thirdly, it is indubitably not a marine in sand or having anything to do with sand, as that would be a sandmarine, which is obviously stupid.
From what the definitions assuredly are not, the creators of this blog have come to the conclusion that sandmariner is probably a comparative adjective describing to what extent something is sandy in the sea, or how sandy the sea is itself. A word like this would be highly useful to divers, fish and other inhabitants of the sea, as it would facilitate the labelling of sea visibility conditions (at least as far as whirling sand is responsible for worsened visibility).
