Concentrating on the British and Commonwealth and United States Navies, this book explores naval slang thematically, covering such areas as ship handling, discipline, and food and drink. Ranging between phrases that clearly have a nautical theme and mundane words, it gives an 'A1' account of their outstanding origins and provides numerous examples of how they are used in the popular media, while also devoting a chapter to 'poking Charlie', a guide to insulting someone with a sailor's filthiest slang!
Complete with original black line drawings, this detailed and highly entertaining exploration of naval slang will appeal not only to old-time 'matelots' (fellow sailors), but to all those interested in how the English language has developed.
