So, I have a friend whose husband is actually in the navy (the navy? the seaman's club? see, I'm really dumb about all things nautical, and you'll see just how dumb in a moment ...) and she was kind enough to point out that in my last post, I mention that I was on a boat and everyone was asked to go "starbird". Which is how it's pronounced. But really, it's starboard.
I stand corrected! If I were the captain of the ship, I would have a very confused crew, indeed. (Or would I? Because I would say starbird and it would sound like starboard so everyone would know where they're supposed to go. Hmmm. I guess I'd be the only confused one. Which is why I'm not in the navy. Or the seaman's club. Or even a yacht club member.)
Ahoy!
I'm not in the navy, but I knew that because I rowed. You didn't know I was so sporty, did you? But, I think "starbird" works if you say it with a pirate twang! Besides, let's be honest, you wouldn't be yelling "starbird" or "starboard". You'd be saying "Sexy Sailor! Fetch me another Mojito!"
