A few podcasts back we got into a discussion about the origins of the word “scuttlebutt.” A lot of you looked it up and dropped the meaning in the comments, so we decided to dedicate this week’s podcast to ship lingo.
We start by explaining a few good ones, then put the sailors in the crowd to the test with a list of terms they had to explain on the fly. Did we stump them? Tune in and find out.
Know any we missed? Drop them in the comments!
