Sabot
A sabot /ˈsæboʊ/ is a device used in a firearm or cannon to fire a projectile, such as a bullet, that is smaller than the bore diameter, or which must be held in a precise position.
Design
Since a strong seal is needed to trap propellant gases behind the projectile, and keep the projectile centered in the barrel, something is needed to fill the undesirable but necessary gap between projectile and barrel, a space referred to as the windage, and this is the role of the sabot. Firing a small-size projectile wrapped in a sabot raises the muzzle velocity of the projectile. Made of some lightweight material (usually plastic in smallbore guns, and aluminium – and, in earlier times, wood or papier-mâché – in cannons), the sabot usually consists of several pieces held in place by the cartridge or a loose connection. When the projectile is fired, the sabot blocks the gas, and carries the projectile down the barrel. When the sabot reaches the end of the barrel, the shock of hitting still air pulls the parts of the sabot away from the projectile, allowing the projectile to continue in flight.
Sabot (shoe)
A sabot is a clog from France or surrounding countries such as Belgium. Sabots are whole feet clogs.
Sabots were in the 16th to 19th centuries, associated with the lower classes. During this period, the years of the Industrial Revolution, the word sabotage gained currency. Allegedly derived from sabot, sabotage described the actions of disgruntled workers who willfully damaged workplace machinery by throwing their sabots into the works. However, according to some accounts, sabot-clad workers were simply considered less productive than others who had switched to leather shoes, roughly equating the term "sabotage" with "inefficiency".
45,000 pairs of Sabot were made in Jersey during the occupation of the island from 1940-45.
Notes
Sabot (dinghy)
The Sabot is a sailing dinghy that is sailed and raced singlehandedly usually by young sailors in various places around the world.
The boat was suitable for amateur production. Early models were usually made in plywood. More recent models have been made in fibreglass. Variations on the design include El Toro from the Richmond Yacht Club in San Francisco Bay Area, the "Naples Sabot" from Naples community of Long Beach, California, as well as Australian varieties, such as the Holdfast Trainer.
Learn to Sail Classes
In Australia, children may sail two-up up to and including the season they turn twelve (although often they change to one-up during that season, or even earlier) and one-up until they are 16. Unlike in the Optimist, their last season is the one in which they turn 16, not the one in which they turn 15. However, at informal club races, parents occasionally sail while the children gain confidence to do it themselves.

Crumbs
by: SebadohI waited for you
No one helped me through
I can't believe in you
And nothing is true
Following you around
Shoveling through our problems
I don't hate myself for being so dumb
I'm totally back and you're doing that
I can't fuckin' stand
I can't fuckin' stand this confusing shit
