reesetee commented on the word buntline hitch
As the name implies, this hitch is used to tie a buntline to a square sail. It is a secure knot but it tends to jam, so it is difficult to untie. For this reason, it's useful for work that will be left unattended for long periods, since it will not untie suddenly.
