Hey Mark......I've got that in book form and it's a riot. You don't have to be nautical to appreciate things like:Surf 'n' Turf: Popular harborside restaurant dish consisting, typically, of a lobster tail and a filet mignon. Other generally accepted terms for this combination are: Angler 'n' Wrangler; Beef 'n' Reef; Maine 'n' Plain; Pound 'n' Sound; Paw 'n' Claw; Loam 'n' Foam; Chap 'n' Trap; Steer 'n' Pier; Kine 'n' Brine; Marine 'n' Bovine; Paddle 'n' Saddle; Oar 'n' Shore; Sand 'n' Brand; Tide 'n' Hide; Dive 'n' Drive; Comber 'n' Roamer; Lasso 'n' Sargasso; Ship 'n' Whip; Boat 'n' Oat; Cud 'n' Scud; Rudder 'n' Udder; Slime 'n' Prime; Scow 'n' Cow; and Ooze 'n' Moos.
However, if you're a sailor then some of then are simply priceless, such as:
Gunwale: Upper edge of the side of a boat, pronounced "gunnel," "gunn'l," "gnl," or "gn." By the way, many people have difficulty mastering nautical pronunciation, and this seems as good a place as any to address this problem.
The effect to aim for is a cross between train announcements and the sounds that come from patients in dentists' chairs. Probably the best way to develop a "sea mouth" is to practice speaking with an unopened chowder clam held in your mouth. Work on this sentence: "Gaff that grommet gasket to the garboard gudgeon gunter." It should come out something like: "Gfthtgrmgskt-thgbdgdgngnr." Remember, properly delivered nautical commands must be incomprehensible to the person toward whom they are directed even when accompanied by clear hand signals or pantomime indicating the desired action.
The U.S. Navy has a handy memory aid for the seven basic rules of the nautical command - it's a good one to memorize: C onfuse O bscure M umble M ispronounce A bbreviate N asalize D roolLots of great stuff. I had no idea it was on-line!
