    i think he said he was playing cards(cheating) with his cousin Moektola and then Stinky Pete told BL4CKB34RD the Moektola owned an AceKard and then he found a DS on Moeaktola's Pocket then they started talking about Pokemon and then he betted for his Moektola's DS and won it and the rest is history

    thats what he said i think.

    Not quite, a coxwain is a rank on a ship. You're a bit off in other places too.

    a coxwain is not a house, its a profession/rank on a ship.

    Definitions of coxswain on the Web:

    * the helmsman of a ship's boat or a racing crew
    wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

    * The coxswain is the person in charge of a boat, particularly its navigation and steering. The etymology of the word gives us a literal meaning of "boat servant" since it comes from cox, a coxboat or other small vessel kept aboard a ship, and swain, which can be rendered as boy, in authority.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coxswain

    * In a crew, the coxswain (or simply the cox) is the member who sits in the stern (except in bowloaders) facing the bow, steers the boat, and coordinates the power and rhythm of the rowers.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coxswain_(rowing)

    * Or "cockswain" from the combination of "cock," a small boat, and "swain," a servant. It originally meant one who had charge of a boat and a crew in the absence of an officer.

    * kawx-swain i) The steersman of a ship's boat, lifeboat, racing boat, etc., ii) the senior petty officer in a small ship.
    www.mi.mun.ca/mi-net/terms/nautical.htm

    * the person who directs the boat, either sitting in the stern or reclining in the bow. Coxswains are typically small and light but must meet a minimum weight. They act as the on-the-water coach and steer person (has no oar).
    www.qra.org/visitors/glossary.html

    * A small boat called a cockboat was used by the Captain to travel from ship to shore. The person in charge of steering was called the coxswain.
    www.privateerdragons.com/pirate_dictionary.html

    * steers the shell and motivates the rowers; contrary to popular belief does not yell "stroke stroke stroke"
    www.unl.edu/nebcrew/Site/About%20Us_files/Rowing_Terms.html

    * The helmsman, who has two important jobs: To keep the boat moving straight by making minor corrections to the rudder, and to keep the oarsmen rowing at the desired stroke rate.
    www.heartcrew.net/rowing-glossary/

    * (Pronounced: COK-sun) Literally meaning "boat lover." a coxswain in the Navy is the driver of a small boat.

    * person in charge while on a lifeboat
