Nautical Word of The Day...
A boating resource of daily words with historical interest as they
relate to boating. A daily series. Ahoy!! (nautical salutation) Normally thought to be the proper nautical salutation when greeting another ship or nautical colleagues, it may have been derived from an ancient Viking Battle Cry. Alexander Graham Bell once believed that Ahoy would be the appropriate salutation for answering the telephone. Adjacent to Ahoy is the term Yo-Ho! a slight twist on Ahoy. Victorian writers used Yo-Ho's to add spice to their characters and songs. Operattas by Gilbert and Sullivan such as "The Mikado" - "The happiest hour a sailor sees - Is when he down - At an inland town - With his Nancy on his knees - YO HO!! Another intersting use of Ahoy is Ahoy-Hoy - an affectation used by the social hoity-toity. Ahoy-hoy is also a running joke on the cartoon show "The Simpsons" as a greeting by the ancient and ever so miserly Mr. Burns. |

Yo-Ho has become such a famous nautical term that some have named boats after it. And then again, on the streets of D.C. one will often hear, shouted from car windows, "YO, HO! How much for the night?" You've provided a valuable resource. -- ***** Have a decent day! ***** John H |

Stating once again: The problem with all of the off-topic crap (even though you don't "have" to read it) is that it attracts an element to the NG who care little or nothing about boating and are only here to ooh-and-ahh at the fireworks and attempt to start trouble. These, ahem, "individuals" (I'm a master of restraint this morning) then take their obsessions with various imagined personalities to a level where they believe it's a good idea to wade into the on-topic threads and steer the discussion toward their personal animus against individual X or Y.

If the Viking's used it as a battle cry, it certainly got converted to more peaceful uses in regions they invaded. "Hoi" is an informal "hello" in Dutch, and there is no great stretch of the imagination required to figure that the English seamen of the 1700's (prior to which the term was not in common use) would corrupt it to Ahoy. Ahoy there = hello there. Ahoy the boat = hello the boat. It's a term used for hailing. One of the words for "hello" in Czech and Slovak is the full form of the nautical term, "ahoy". |

Almost as funny is that the folks who specialize in nasty little insults usually don't realize how badly their behavior reflects on them, so they persist until they are considered a pariah by nearly everyone- (except one or two like-minded insult hurlers). |

Two or three with a cup of coffee is fine, but it's hard to stop there. Eisboch |

A boating resource of daily words with historical interest as they relate to boating. A daily series. Ahoy!! (nautical salutation) Normally thought to be the proper nautical salutation when greeting another ship or nautical colleagues, it may have been derived from an ancient Viking Battle Cry. Alexander Graham Bell once believed that Ahoy would be the appropriate salutation for answering the telephone. Adjacent to Ahoy is the term Yo-Ho! a slight twist on Ahoy. Victorian writers used Yo-Ho's to add spice to their characters and songs. Operattas by Gilbert and Sullivan such as "The Mikado" - "The happiest hour a sailor sees - Is when he down - At an inland town - With his Nancy on his knees - YO HO!! Another intersting use of Ahoy is Ahoy-Hoy - an affectation used by the social hoity-toity. Ahoy-hoy is also a running joke on the cartoon show "The Simpsons" as a greeting by the ancient and ever so miserly Mr. Burns. After full review your boating related post has been fully approved by the Gould NG Review Team granting you 2 OT posts today without fear of reprisal or reprimand from the Gould NG Sheriff Department. Disclaimer: The Gould NG Team in no way endorses or is any way profits from the content of this post.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Thank you very, very, much JimH. And I mean that sincerely. Nobody could have illustrated my opinion any more clearly or accurately. You have helped me build my case very nicely. Stating once again: The problem with all of the off-topic crap (even though you don't "have" to read it) is that it attracts an element to the NG who care little or nothing about boating and are only here to ooh-and-ahh at the fireworks and attempt to start trouble. These, ahem, "individuals" (I'm a master of restraint this morning) then take their obsessions with various imagined personalities to a level where they believe it's a good idea to wade into the on-topic threads and steer the discussion toward their personal animus against individual X or Y. Nice job of screwing up Tom's boating related post, JimH. And I see your two-man fan club is already giving you their high fives for your efforts. From my perspective you have merely proven once again why the OT threads damage the group, so thanks for that. =================== Let me explain this to you slowly........his post was meant as a jab and a joke. You obviously did not get it because you take this NG wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tooooooooooooo seriously. BTW: *You* are the one who actually proved *my* point. ;-) |

Yo-Ho has become such a famous nautical term that some have named boats after it. And then again, on the streets of D.C. one will often hear, shouted from car windows, "YO, HO! How much for the night?" You've provided a valuable resource. -- ***** Have a decent day! ***** John H That was funny! |

Like the Stella D'oro Anisette Toast, but it's not quite the same - I get tired of the anisette flavor very quickly. |
