In my opinion, you all have a HUGE amount of spunk (American slang for
"willingness to be adventurous", I guess) to even contemplate a trip like
this


Interesting I nearly wet myself laughing about the terminology. "Spunk" is
English slang for semen. Guess you can see why it sound funny. Saying
someone is spunky is an obscenity.

I was thinking the two gents have brass balls to contemplate that trip
in a rented C172, which is related to your UK meaning of spunk.

Probably has the same roots. Another U.S. term for someone with lots of spunk
is any variation of "he has lots of balls".

Why would that be? Flying around the islands is about as easy as it gets.
