Xcat Xmas special

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

There is a persistent urban legend, repeated by the now defunct UK newspaper the Sunday Correspondent, that ascribes sexually suggestive names – such as Master Bates, Seaman Staines, and Roger (meaning "have sex with") the Cabin Boy – to Captain Pugwash's characters, and indicating that the captain's name was a slang Australian term for oral sex.[2] John Ryan successfully sued both the Sunday Correspondent and The Guardian newspapers in 1991 for printing this legend as fact.[3] The origin of this myth is likely due to student rag mags from the 1970s.[4]

Long live the urban legends and down with the anti-silly brigade.

Interesting had vague memory of it being a throwaway gag in one of Spike Milligan's war books. Which would probably predate Pugwash, but it's such an obvious silly name that who knows where it came from. Double entendre adult type humour often seems to crop up in kids catoons and programs for some reason

Chef? I believe the proper term on a sailboat is "galley wench."
And when I'm not cooking I answer to the call of "bar bitch"!
