Who Invented The Term "Pin Shark"? And Can It Be Changed?

i agree the term is less than flattering to sharks!!! While predators, the finned version of the shark, is pretty much a perfect machine for doing the 3 things it does<namely eat, swim, and make more sharks>
now the bipedal kind, thats not even living matter!!! Just a below microscopic fungal life forms is the "pinshark" or "pinneas decheatus" ie latin for pin shark!!

Go ahead wear both the lanyard and the repellant pin!!!
The only folks you stand a chance of "offending " are the actual "creatures" you are poking fun at,

Gods knows if I had one of those pins, I would wear it to Epcot and DTD all the time, Practically putting it in the faces of those, sleazoids.......
Only have one lower rung on the pin ladder , and thats for the folks who use their kids for "pinneas decheatus " tactics,, Now there is a special place in Pin Trader Purgatory for those folks, one where every pin has a salt covered, razor edged, and topped with a needle tipped pinpost, and every pinback is made of cheesecloth!!

You go ahead and wear them with pride!!!!
Anyone comments tell them , you dont have any harpoon marks or chum lines!!

Tiki gave me mine and we go around when we see a pin shark and make sounds like PSSSSSSSSSST like we sprayed them.
Shark is even the term my kids used when they were younger. A shark is a Shark but Bruce is cool. Wearing a shark does not mean you are one.

Thanks Dan I think you are pretty cool too. I'm just glad I'm not a pinhole.

Wear that lanyard with pride. Any shark lanyard that has Bruce on it is A OK with me.

Thanks so much for the advice everyone!

It does seem as though pinshark was/is a fan-made term. Lol, I really do like the term pinhole. Think I'll have to use that one.

I'm pretty new to the whole pin shark thing. I have an idea of what we're referring to. But can someone PM me what it's all about if you don't mind?
