In crew, the small person who controls every action of rowers. Although some people would call them omnipotent gods onboard shells, they're content to be called coxswains. This person is generally more intelligent, capable, and assertive than the dumb cows pulling oars. Although the coxswain, by nature of their size and immense intellectual power, is prone to badgering and physical abuse by the much larger rowers, their job is undeniably much more crucial. Coxswains have the power to get rowers to do pretty much whatever they want, through the clever combination of coercion and being able to transition from urgent whispering to drill sergeant barking to demon-like screeching from the depths of hell.
Coxswains, thankfully for the rowers, generally use their power for good rather than evil. This rule is broken, however, during the dreaded 2k erg test, during which the coxswain attempts to remove any incentive a rower has for living. Neglecting this 6-7 minute thrust into the bloody bowels of hell, coxswains are pretty chill.

Andrew: I heard you joined the crew team, but you're only 4'9, how is that possible?
Becky: I am the coxswain.
Andrew: Oh sorry I didn't realize. By the way, you're looking lovely today. Would you like something to drink? How about some money, or my first born child? Just don't make me row.

Get the coxed! mug.The commander of a racing shell. Usually under 5'5" and weighs no more than 100 pounds. May either sit at the bow or stern of the shell. Uses a microphone tool called a cox box or coxwains box. It is basically a headset microphone that is plugged into the shells speaker system with a guage for stroke rate on it. The coxwain or cox rarely uses the command stroke. Instead he/she uses these commands:
1.On the Ready! - command given to rowers telling them to prepare to row.
2.Ready...ROW! - command given for rowers to row.
3.Hold water/Hold - command given to pairs of rowers anywhere in the shell to stick the oar blade in the water and hold it there.
4.Power 10/20/30 etc. - command given to rowers to put full power into the number of strokes called.
5.Weigh Enough! - pronounced Way-nuff, command give to rowers to stop rowing.
6.oh...SHIT STOP, (insert port/starboard here) HOLD - command given when the very expensive racing shell is about to hit something.

"Of course, there were plenty of gorgeous and curvaceous girls on the Vanilla Love dating site, but it had been a combination of words and an attractive profile photo, which had ultimately stoked Frankie’s interest; that heavy and plump adjective had wobbled into his mind and now refused to abate, as Frankie in age old fashion, slipped down his briefs; his rampaging bull already fulsome and hard, throbbing at the sight of the everyday buxom beauty... yes, Frankie stared down at his meaty monster of an erection feeling ever so... ever so coxom?"
