What does POSH mean this is how its described on the web ........“port out starboard home" (posh).

It's a reference to the days when ships sailed from England to India via the Suez Canal in Egypt and which links the Mediterranean Sea with the Indian

Ocean.

On the outward journey, wealthy passengers occupied cabins on

the left (port) side of the ship to avoid the sun, and on the

homeward journey from India to England, they occupied the right

(starboard) side cabins, thus again avoiding the sun. Therefore port

out, starboard home - posh - and only well-off people could afford

these cabins, so they're known as posh people.

any other unusual facts about everyday words people know

SHIT means store high in transit, it goes back ton the days she when water would get in the bottom of the ship and ruin the cargo, so if they wrote SHIT on it they would know to store it high

I thought it was from the Germanic languages, ficken in German, focka in Swedish (fock being penis) and the Dutch fokken.

Many of our most graphic swear words come from the Anglo Saxon languages that were used prior to the Norman conquest. Fuck and cunt were perfectly acceptable words till the Norman language, the language of the invader and new rulers was implemented and Anglo Saxon was outlawed and the words became bad language.

The cat in the bag reference may be the cat 'o nine tails lash that was used in floggings on Navy vessels from Nelsons' era.... Me thinks...

Those nuns are a right randy bunch!

Fornicating Under the Consent of the King is an urban myth according to Wikipedia.

To get the sack dates from roman times when criminals would be thrown into the Tiber in a sack with animal or 3 and if he survived all well an good and if he drowned, too bad.

Also, a square meal originates from the navy when they had square wooden plates.

American GI - GI= government Issue

GI was government intake - the draft.

Testify comes from Romans making an oath by swearing on their testicles - they had to put one hand over them like courtrooms and bible etc.

One tablespoon of semen has approximately 20 calories. Semen also contains zinc and calcium which helps prevent tooth decay.

One typical ejaculation contains 150 mg of protein, 11 mg of carbohydrates, 6 mg fat, 3 mg cholesterol, 7% US RDA potassium and 3% US RDA copper and zinc. The protein content is roughly equivalent to that found in one egg white. Also, women physically exposed to semen are less likely to suffer from depression. The ingesting of it is called 'spermophagia'. Studies suggest that seminal plasma both prevents and fights cancer, particularly breast cancer.
