"Navy Talk"

The mother of a friend of ours had remarried, awhile back, to a retired Navy man. He had never given up the “Navy Way” and continually used Navy terminology in his everyday conversation,

His wife put up with this as long as she could until, after a few drinks at a party one night, she brought him up short by saying , “I don’t mind it when you call the floor, the “deck”, and the wall the “bulkhead, but I’ll be dammed if I’m, going to pipe you aboard!”
