'Long wing'
Can anyone tell me where this term came from? Back in the day we always called them wing-tips and we always knew what we meant. Is this a recently coined term? I always thought it was bluchers or wing-tips in the US, and brogues or wing-tips in the UK, or have I got this wrong? Funny how language evolves and what was the norm disappears. Not just language either I guess.

That's how I understand it as well. The whole squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares bit.
