....duh me...here I was thinking "football". I'm a prairie boy..sorta...punts are those little skiffs that float around on the ocean....I confirmed that on google...damn and duh.
I love the ocean....but, who doesn't? It's elemental. It would be kind of funny to take a survey with a yes/no answer to the question..."Do you like the ocean?"....I think I'll post that in the lounge. I am betting an inflatable punt, two used keels, and a bicycle....that the answer will come back as a resounding yes.
I dusted off my tuxedo for tomorrow!...fun times.

No Silly, the punts of my namesake are not for floating around on the bayou.
To be more helpful, a "Punt" is a british term I picked up on a Punt across the pond. (oooh, naughty me, using a definition word in its own definition - fifteen lashes with a braided spagettini flogger). You see, in the land of the limeys, a Punt is basically a randy outing with with a women of whorish reputation. It is also slang for 'taking a chance', or some such things.
Wikipedia includes the following...
"The word punter may refer to:
A British and Australian English colloquial term for a paying guest or customer, especially a patron of a brothel
a gambler, particularly an amateur betting on horse racing or a player in the game of Baccarat
a beginner skier or snowboarder, especially one with particularly bad style."
(The first too fit. I have no idea how the last one got in there. I can ski for god sakes!).
Now a "Meister" comes from the germanic realm, literally meaning 'master', but of course I use this not in any toppy sense - no no - I use 'meister' in the westernized slang referring to a person showing both interest and proficiency in a subject. Much like 'the Rich-meister' from saturday night live. "Mak-in Cop-ies".
Put it together, you get P-U-N-T-M-E-I-S-T-E-R!
