Now I'll casually mention that I was using the Macetto technique, and people will be too embarrassed to admit that they don't know what the hell I'm talking about.
I've had similar fun with names of spots. In the past when I've named a particular spot at San Clemente Island for instance in a trip report, some people are mad because they consider that to be one of "their" spots. So I just generally avoid naming anything but the island.
But a few years ago, Daryl Wong's partner Rick Bettua was here from Hawaii and went out with me and got his first white sea bass, pictured below, as well as his first few yellowtail. The next year he came back and dove with someone else at the same kelp bed and got his limit of three white sea bass. Of course he was asking "what's the big deal about spearing white sea bass- it seems pretty easy?"
So now I, along with my dive buddies, call that spot Rick's Reef, and when we report a trip there, we gladly say where we were using that name instead of the more commonly used name for the spot. We like to picture guys feverishly poring over their charts looking for the spot.
Anyway, now I can say I used Macetto at Rick's reef.
