I know we had this before but there is always scope for new undiscovered ones that people may not previously have considered.
One of the ones I have always found rude is "hawsehole".
There will be others.

thing is, can you remain "standing" for long enough to satisfy her?

sort of .... in barge terminology a lot of towing barges have a stern one to protect the rudder from the towed barge.
Originally believe they were a couple of spars and could be on the bow or stern ... or both, on sailing vessels to extend the clew or if on the stern for sheeting the mizzen or a mule mizzen on sailing barges

A short outrigger projecting from the side of the aft part of a square-rigged sailing ship, used as an attachment point for a rope (brace) used to set a yard-arm at different angles to a mast so to allow the ship to sail at different angles to the wind. perhaps similar to the function of a whisker pole...

I always keep a couple of nice oars beside my bed in case of emergencies.

Funny how different names are used for the same thing but in different areas "snotter" or "gob rope" depending if you are on the Thames or the Humber
