I learned them as:

Bowline (bo-lin) - the piece of running rigging that controls a square sail's forward leech. A knot isn't required. An eye splice will do on a dingy or tender but usually a knot is tied to the sail's cringle. Not many 'bo-lins' to haul on the average canal boat.

Bowline (bo-lin) - also the preferred knot that originally took its name from the application. It is not a "noose". The "bight" or loop does not draw tight on a haul.

Bow line (two words, ie: bow & stern) a line used for mooring or maneuvering the forward part of the vessel. Bow and stern lines need constant tending in the locks. They should not be "made fast" or "dogged off" as in mooring.

Back where I come from:"Haul in your bowline [sic] boys, stand by you sorrel mule..." would be getting underway "up lock."

Mas minutiae:

Bollards: Were on the lock. Or wharf or whatevs.

Onboard:
Mast: Single, round, smooth
Post: Single, square, smooth
Bitt: Single or double with a crossmember (norman, cleat, &c)
Knighthead: Double bitt with a sprit.

"Bitting the tow line." - lead through a forward chock on the "near side" and thence to the bitt.
