RE: [Paddlewise] Bungee vs. shock cord

I think "bungee" is used here in the U.S. more by sea kayakers, and "shock 
cord" more by sailors; otherwise they are synonymous. Oh, BTW, I think 
British usage is to call them "elastics,' as in "deck elastics."

Can someone tell me the difference between bungee cord and shock cord?  Is
it appearance, function?

Thanks,

Josh
