'Rip rap rocks?' From whence came that?

Because that is what the banks of that canal are made of you cretin.

Ahem, Not sure why you would call him a cretin for asking a simple
question, but in any event to be technical about it, The ship canal
banks are concrete bulkheads with rip-rap thrown in later to keep from
undermining the original concrete bulkhead, and as you probably know
this time of year the water levels are pretty low exposing most of the
rip-rap. No matter, Still sad to hear about losing an HPU guy.
