Everyone knows that old nautical saying, “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight,” which a captain would use to alert his crew that they could take a break from sailing to paint beautiful paintings of him. Here are some other phrases that got thrown around on boats:

• “I pine for the land, please allow me to grip your hand.”
  
• “Baby on board, a new friend we just scored.”
  
• “Don’t know how to sail, father always said I would fail.”
  
• “While the water be still, I used something sharp to make my neck have a gill.”
  
• “Can’t tell what you’re emoting, our boat is exploding?”
  
• “The more stuff you lick, the better chance you have of becoming permanently sick.”
  
• “If we all close our eyes, we’ll never see who dies.”
