For the instruction of fellow lunatics I am happy to report my progress to date in researching the etymology of the "Inverted Spinglefluke". As posted previously the construction describes an exceptional form of the common Flounder. The Flounder travels at the high speed of three to four miles per day, is sexually mature at the unusually small size of three inches in length, and has negligible culinary value. Fishermen contemptuously compare its flavor to that of boiled flannel. In stock exchange parlance all three of these characteristics - high momentum, brisk activity at low psp, and distastefulness to greedy shorts - are exceptional virtues to traders and obviously account for the extremely high regard in which this fluke is held by investors.
The description 'inverted' clearly refers to the fluke's perceived preference for swimming upside down in order to maintain its consolidation while rising from lower to upper levels as quickly as possible.
But as to 'spingle'- here I confess my abject failure to trace any derivation whatsoever. My suspicion is that it must connote the extraodinary and total reliability of the fluke's consistency in performance but I am unable to posit this notion beyond conjecture. Any help in ovrecoming the conundrum will be greatly appreciated.
