OP An old one from Wordsmith's list. I remember as a kid
at Brockton MA fair, seeing lumberjacks competing for prizes. Sawing through logs, chopping through logs, and two men on one log in a large pool, wearing anklehigh shoes with long spikes, making the log spin, then suddenly checking the spin, trying to make one of the competitors
fall into the water. That was called birling.
