He might play Hockey where The captain wears a "C" on their jersey and
the assistants wear an "A." It is the captain's responsibility to
interface with the referees and with the league in recreational hockey.


He may be a plantation owner, they are called Captain a term of address
conventionally demanded of black employees by Southern white bosses.
"Captain" frequently appeared in work songs, referring either
specifically or generally to the white foreman. Just Kinda strange in
yankee land.

Bob may work at Sing Sing, the prisoners call the guards there Captain.

And there is a good chance he is still an eight grade student elected
by his House peers to lead all students within a House and to represent
his House and the student body in all school events. They are addressed
as Captain.

He may play touch football. The captain of a football (soccer) team is
mentioned in the Laws of the Game purely in connection with the toss of
the coin prior to kick-off for choice of ends and to determine who
kicks off. He is usually identified by the wearing of an armband.

I hear there is allot of Coal in NY state where a Captain is a Cornish
name for manager or boss of a mine. Now used in some areas to designate
the immediate superior of a shift-boss. Equivalent to an overman in
coal mine anda foremen in other operations.

And he may be a policeman in charge of a precinct.

And he could be a Captain, this signifies the bidding principle that
the teammate of the Partner who has limited his hand in any manner
assumes the responsibility of placing the Contract.

And he could be the "Captain of the head". 'the man appointed to keep
ship's head clean'.

We all know not to confuse him as a Captain as in :

an officer holding a rank below a major but above a lieutenant

the naval officer in command of a military ship

the leader of a group of people; "a captain of industry"

Any USMM or Military officer of any rank in command of the boat.

Commanding officer of any ship, or the next rank after commander in the
American and Commonwealth navies. It is also a rank in the army, above
lieutenant and below major.

Rank above 1st lieutenant and below major. Normally commands a company.
Insignia is two silver bars.

Or anything to do with Captain in any nautical term and, or military
rank.

The word came to English via the Latin capitaneus ("chief") which is
itself derived from the Latin word for "head" (caput).

I suspect he is indeed..... Captain of the Head.

Well Done Swabbie!

I told bubbles a while back, when the folks at the marina call you
"captain", it isn't because they think you're a captain, it's because they
forgot your name.

Bwahahhahahhahahhahahhahahaha
