A nautical knot tied by a Midwesterner that is made by starting with a loop in the right hand and then wrapping the other end around it in random patterns. May or may not come untied under use, but generally cannot be untied without the use of a knife.
Inexperienced sailor: What type of knot should I use to tie this off?
Experienced sailor: It doesn't really matter, just use a Detroit Bowline
