Could you "buy-out" a bar-girl with a "juicy blue" instead of a "sticky green " , I wonder ?

OD , also "Ord" is the abbreviation for Ordinary Seaman, and is generally applied to anyone nautically maladroit or inept , as in "Nobby Hall , the Big OD, cleaned his suit in CTC " which , I believe , Cyril DID write !!

I see someone's written "Di-so " , pronounced "Dye So " but actually "Dghaisa " or something similar, a Maltese version of a Gondola . Watch the excellent film (an early Michael Winner effort , believe it or not !) "Floating Fortress" about HMS Victorious in Malta in 1959-60 for shots of Jack going ashore in one .

PS I have never been to Malta !! ; because of the "6-day War " , the Suez Canal was closed ,so we went to Singapore and Aden via Capetown !!
