That was quite a common epithet in the '50s. we had one on the Bulwark (1st commish). Port side broadside mess with 80 bunks, burma road in the centre between the lockers, then the Booties' barracks on the starb'd side.
One little section of six bunks had three of our limp wristed shipmates in it.
Very busy!

Feck sake, blow job at sea best place either Stwds Mess or the Wardrom - never ever trust an unmarried Lt Cdr or above and never go to the Boat Show with them - oops think I might have put too much info on this thread.

 

[KiloDelta]

And a village in Germany called Fuc-king (negative "-"). Graeme Norton made a prank call to the tourist information office nearby for more info.

Edit: To avoid word censor.

Well I actually did get a pier head jump onto the Hermes during a bit of nastiness between the Greeks and the Turks. And, I have had a jump with a peer. Is that the same kind of thing :dontknow:
