FWIW: Meander shows up twice (NC & Oz) on the members list on Sailblogs. Would suggest that it's rather popular with the seafaring non-surveyors.

How about Traverse?(Drat, Don had that one first) If MSM that applies to going cross wind while tacking against the wind.

Or Meander LINE, In PLSS surveying that nearly always means a river or body of water nearby.

Colpa

Old Irish measure of land equal to an amount of land able to support a horse or cow for a year. An Irish acre of good land is also an Approximation of its' definition.
