Spring-Smithing was originally a branch of the Blacksmith's Trade-Skills.
A Spring-Smith is the Person who Puts The Force of Resilience into the Pre-Formed-Spring-Shape :
By Heating It; and Cooling It Very Slowly:
In a very-care-fully-controlled-manner.
The Traditional Method was to heat the forged mild steel up to a pale-cherry-red colour; and Immersing it in almost-boiling oil;which was then Very Slowly Cooled in a pit; in a packed-straw or hay-insulated box; which was then covered in HOT SAND to retain the heat.
A fire would then be lit on top of the sand, to keep it hot for a week, or as long as required.
WARNING !!! Especially At The Moment Of Immersion :
THIS TRADITIONAL METHOD INCLUDES A HIGH FIRE RISK.
It Should Only Ever Be Attempted Out-Doors, By Professionals, who have Good Fire-Fighting equipment nearby, and the skills to use it Safely.

To void the bowels, expel a turd or the like. To defecate. Of military origin, the phrase refers to the process of taking the strain off the spring system in one's rifle. The similarity is drawn to the subsequent release of energy and altogether more relaxed feeling afterwards.
"2 Section. Your patrol was due to start 2 minutes ago. Why are you still here?" - "Jimmy had to away and ease springs. We'll be off shortly, sir"

A small town in which any liberal hippy is accepted with loving and open arms. Shoes are not only not necessary but are also a frowned upon accessory for residents (even school teachers find it unnecessary to wear shoes on occasion). Police forces do a great job however residents are confused why the officers pull them over for doing illegal things.
Yellow Springs is a place that will destroy any conservative who steps foot in the town. Fox News is basically banned from the town because of its supposedly biased news reporting.
Basically Yellow Springs is the place to go if you find yourself in a position where you're craving smelling like marijuana while you walk around with dirty scratched up feet judging any individual that you walk by.

1. A lame spring break because one cannot afford to travel anywhere interesting.
2. A disfunctional, ruined, and thus "broken" spring break.
