well, "Thumper" is actually a reference to Bambi
You'd have to ask Fowler, but certainly when he coined it, "Bambi" was the
last thing on anyone's mind. I believe Fowler's intention was "one that
thumps" (or, in the unique parlance of a certain Commander-in-Chief,
"one that gives a thumpin'").
me, I always thought of calling sandworms.
sandworms use up a lot of space, you see...
And bring in a lot of cash....
(IIRC, the worms caused the spice and the spice was mined)
It was my association too.
...and if you imagine 48 head positioner arms moving at once....
one can imagine the vibration would travel through sand, is all.
Just means it's a good name, I suppose!
