collar n *xenoy _OFF AND ON PUNTS/COLLARS/RODNEY_ _COLLARS_ " I 'spose the way it came about, I 'spose, when all the motor boats was here, they used to be all ->out in the harbour on what we used to call collars, chains, you know. And they used to build those small boats for going off, going off aboard, and they put ->those small boats on the collar, see, and take the motor boat and _go on_ fishing. I think that's how they start to call that rodney, you know. And in lots of places, down in Bay de Verde they calls them off and on punts."
