It did me a chance to look up a word I’ve been misusing since my days in the Territory of Hawai’i...

...so there’s that!

Hawaiian surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku didn’t like the term kahuna because of its association with black magic.

BTW, the Hebrew word kehuna sounds the same and means priesthood. In English we say high priest, but the Hebrew term is actually Kohen Gadol, literally ‘big priest’.
