The following pages contain sayings that were in common use by matelot’s
In the 60’s & 70’s when we had a fleet.
They do not contain my personal views and are published purely to reflect
Life and verbal expressions in use at the time.
I am not racist, sexist or homophobic, but some people may find some of
The expressions offensive.

So if you proceed past this page tough shit as they say.

These pages in no way reflect terminology or views in use in today’s
Modern Royal Navy in which( I am sure) they would not be tolerated.

Please do not proceed any further if easily offended.

Naval Slang (before political correctness)

If you recall any slang from that era that you feel belongs on these pages
please drop me a maily and space permitting we’ll get it published. Thanks in advance. Mac
