LOL! You got me Steve, I did not know that. It sounds good but I cannot find that phase anywhere..where did you find it? I may want to use that later....nes pa...you know what I mean?
 
It used to be in the Navy traditions book, but has gone away along with son of a gun, show a leg and Bitter end... No traditions left anymore.. Anyway it was sort of a Destroyerman's phrase.. Big deck sailors would never have ocassion to hear of it. Another great one refering to High speed "runnin with a bone in her teeth" which refers to the white curling wake off the bow of a destroyer at high speed.
