I would yank in the ropes, only to find they were tight already, then the second repeated the call, again and again... I remember thinking "this is weird, I'm sure I expicitly said not to use the word slack when you want me to take in". Finally it clicked -- one of the ropes is black and they were calling "take in black!". Duh. I've decided that the rope is to be called "blue" from now on.
