I thought a "Finifter" was a measure of depth, like 20,000 Finifters Under the Sea, The Phantom From 10,000 Finifters, and of course She's Out of My Finifter.
Actually, that reminds me of something. While reading 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea a few years ago, I had a realization; the number actually refers to how far the characters travel (on a submarine, under the sea), while on board the Nautilus, and not to the one sequence when they lose power and sink "deeper than no man has ever gone."
So while (traveling) 20,000 Finifters (while) under the sea might seem like a long way, these days submarines are much more commonplace than in Jules Verne's day, and routinely cover that distance without ever needing to surface, so as such that measure is not as impressive as it once might have been.
Actually, that might work after all...
(Nutin' but love for ya man!)
