Cunningham is a surname of Scottish origin, see Clan Cunningham.
Notable people with the family name include:
Cunningham is a young crater on the floor of Caloris Basin, on Mercury. It is surrounded by a bright ray system.
In sailing, a cunningham or cunningham's eye is a type of downhaul used on a Bermuda rigged sailboat to change the shape of a sail. It is named after its inventor, Briggs Cunningham, a victorious America's Cup skipper and yacht builder.
The cunningham differs from a typical downhaul in the way that it attaches to the sail. The system usually consists of a line which is secured at one end to the mast or boom below the foot of the mainsail. It is then passed through a cringle in the luff of the sail near the foot, but above the tack, and then led down on the other side to a fitting on the mast or boom or on deck.
The tension in the luff of the sail is adjusted using a combination of the halyard and the cunningham (where fitted). The primary advantage of adjusting the cunningham is the speed and ease with which the luff tension can be changed while sailing or racing. By either hauling or easing the line, the tension in the luff can be changed, thereby shifting the point of maximum draft of the sail forward or aft respectively, optimizing sail shape—and therefore—performance. It is a fine control which is used more frequently on racing sailboats than on cruising or day-sailing boats.
You know that
I don't back
You doing what you want without you letting me know that you do
So I can do it too
We've been so together
And if there were ever reason to change it
I'm sure we could arrange it, baby
Something's wrong
If you really think you're the one to get away with it
I know what you're thinking
It's starting to sink in
Why does everything have to be a love thing
Think of all the sorrow that love brings
Is it where you really wanna go
No, I really don't think so
Why does everything have to be a love thing
Why can't we dig each other and just hang
Is it where you really wanna go
No, I really don't think so
I'm not one to go on
Your preconceptions of correct behavior
It's really not my flavor, baby
Something's wrong
If you really think you're the one to get away with it
I know what you're thinking
It's starting to sink in
Hook
No, I don't need a ring on my finger
I kinda like being single
Commitment don't fit me
It bit me one time and I still don't know why
