Dabtoes are seamen - Dustmen are stokers - The Jossman (Joss) or Jaunty is the Master-At-Arms - WAFU's (Wet and F***in' Useless) are Fleet Air Arm Ratings - Crushers are Regulators (Naval Policemen) - Greenies are Domestic Electricians – Pinkies are Radio Electricians - Scab-Lifters are Medical Staff - Jimmy (the One) is the First Lieutenant - The Old Man is the Skipper - Father Famine is the Catering/Supply Officer - The Tooth Fairy is the Dental Officer – Comic Cuts are (indeed) a sailor's naval record – A Yeoman is a Signals/Communications Senior Rate (or assistan t to an officer ie; Navigator's Yeoman)

Great books to read are:
Just An Old Naval Custom by A Cecil Hampshire (Good for a laugh but wildly inaccurate in places)
Janes Dictionary Of Naval Terms (The Official Navalese Translator - Comprehensive but boring!)
Jackspeak by Rick Jolly (The REAL sailor's dictionary - Cross ref'd with all the little swearies and rude names for bits of girlies bodies and other naval pastimes) A Must for anyone who wants to translate anything by Cyril T or Tom Lewis (or to insult people without necessarily getting a thick ear)
