Here endeth the English lesson.
Given the rest of tmp44's description, we already know it's a portable basket support so IMO you don't really need the $10 word when the $1 word will do.

It was to learn what stanchion means.

But I'm willing to bet a week's worth of game fees that if you approached 50 people, less than five would know what it means.

YOU already knew it was a portable basket support. I spaced that part out.

Chuck was helping ME when he used the word "stanchion". I had spaced that part, but he was politely helping me remember it by using slightly different words.

It would depend on which 50 people you approached, wouldn't it?
