Long is a term applied to an object that is of the same basic form as some standard object, but longer. Indefinitely extensible classes of objects include strings (e.g. long snake, long canoe, long shillelagh), vessels (long barge, long boat, long ship), and barber poles. Certain objects can also be lengthened a limited number of times, e.g. long hook.
