What exactly does keel mean?
2007-07-30 08:02:49 · update #1
Keel refers to the "chief timber or piece extending along the bottom of a boat."
When you are sailing, and the wind is coming from the side, you and the boat tend to "keel over", exposing the keel to the wind while the boat moves gracefully along forward. The trick is to ride on the edge as far as you can go without the boat tipping over.

I would suggest "keel" or "slump".
To "keel over" is borrowed from sailing, but in popular usage it usually means to drop dead (either literally as in falling asleep or figuratively as in dying suddenly).

"keel" seems to be popular.
Such as keeling over and falling onto the floor.
