Well in that case how about some trivia????
Ever wonder why a GIN POLE is called a Gin Pole....here you go!

Where did the term Gin Pole come from...well here's the answer.  It is a
contraction of the work "Engine" as noted below in definition and also =
the
link to the online Hyperdictionary.

\Gin\, n. [A contraction of engine.]
1. Contrivance; artifice; a trap; a snare. --Chaucer.
   Spenser.
