Heraldic amusement

[damont]

In response to a recent inquiry on an email list about blazoning a couple of possible designs, I used the following:
"Quarterly X and Y, an arrow fesswise between four widgets".
"<field>, on a bend sinister between two widgets a thingy".

I then concluded by saying:
"Yes, I am resorting to highly technical terms here. ;-)"

Heck, your guess is as good as mine on how to depict a widget.

I will note that, when appropriate, I (and many other heralds) have also been known to use the technical term "stuff".
