Glossary of professional wrestling terms

Professional wrestling has accrued a considerable nomenclature through its long existence. Much of it stems from the industry's origins in the days of carnivals and circuses, and the slang itself is often referred to as "carny talk." In the past, wrestlers used such terms in the presence of fans so as not to reveal the worked nature of the business. In recent years, widespread discussion on the Internet has popularized these terms. Many of the terms refer to the financial aspects of pro wrestling in addition to performance-related terms.

William Christian Sellé (also known as Wilhelm Kristian Sellé) was a Victorian doctor of music, composer and for forty years Musician in Ordinary to her Majesty Queen Victoria.

Biography

William Christian Sellé was born in Benhall, Suffolk in 1813, and was the son of a musician Christian Sellé who had left Hanover with Viotti a celebrated violinist, for reason of an opportunity to join the private band of the 15th Light Dragoons of Ernest Augustus Duke of Cumberland who was then residing at the royal residence in Kew and was forming a band of mainly German musicians. His Mother Elizabeth Underwood was from a farming family in Suffolk. Sellé was bilingual from an early age.

Sellé began his musical education at a young age. He was placed under the tutelage of another of the Duke of Cumberland’s musician, a man named Platt. At fifteen he became a pupil of Cipriani Potter, at that time the principal of the Royal Academy of Music where he specialised in pianoforte. Sellé demonstrated at an early age the ability to teach music beginning whilst he was under tutelage. Potter trusted him enough to allow him to teach the other pupils. He was at the academy for about two years and then started a seventy-year career as a teacher. He was primarily a teacher of the piano and organ but was also a skilled violinist.

Leander (clipper)

Leander was a composite built clipper ship. She was designed by Bernard Waymouth, and built in 1867 by J G Lawrie of Glasgow for Joseph Somes. She had a particularly extreme hull shape, with a coefficient of under-deck tonnage of 0.54, a very low figure. She was at her best in light winds and performed well to windward or in a head sea. Being somewhat tender if pressed in heavy weather, she had to carry so much ballast that she was down to her marks before being fully laden.

Ship history

Before 1871, Leander sailed between London and the Far East (China) and later from China to New York City. She was in the tea trade until 1879. Re-rigged as a barque in the 1890s, the ship was sold to R. Anderson of London, then to Ross & Company. Her last owner was Seyed Youssouf bin Ahmed Zuwawee of Oman and was renamed Nusrool Mujeed in 1895 and broken up in 1901.
