Thread Name: Help: What is bulgine pie?
Subject: RE: Sea term: bulgine pie
well it is not a sea term. If you understand that bulgine was also spelled bullgine, and comes from the same derivation as bulldozer and the like, think about a cow-gine pie, than think about a bull-gine pie! the bull is the power in any composite word like that, so the locomotive engine was called the bullgine, shortened by Stephen Foster and others to bulgine.
