Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: catspaw49 Date: 09 Nov 99 - 10:33 AM Well, that'll round it out.....Pansy Rue Twidgett. Thank you Kat, WW will be pleased...LMAO Spaw |
Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: katlaughing Date: 09 Nov 99 - 10:21 AM WW, my friend and her boyfriend made up a term they could use in public with none the wiser. One day she finally told me what the heck she was tlakign abotu when referring to her "twidgett"! Couldn't ya just see the personal ads: Salty Dog heat-seeks twidgett for his moisture missile! (Thanks for those Jeri!) Or... Have I got a ding-a-ling for your twidgett! Dial 1-999-Salty Dog. Or... Fun-loving Twidgett seeks briney canine. |
Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: catspaw49 Date: 09 Nov 99 - 10:17 AM JERI!!! I'm SO ashamed..........but since you're going there, WW, the infamous Pansy Rue, has inquired about the female variety of genitalia you may have noticed. Any help there? Spaw |
Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: Jeri Date: 09 Nov 99 - 10:11 AM That would be WyoW, not Kat, who said "scatological." Scatalogical refers to feces, poop, or doodie. I'm leaning toward "penilogical," myself. Things seem to start out being about one thing, and frequently end up being about penises. Might it have once referred to a sailor, but been adopted as still another cute name for a wiener, schlong, trouser trout, lizard, ding-a-ling, heat-seeking-moisture-missle, etc? |
Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: Date: 09 Nov 99 - 09:55 AM hot dog? seaman? OR seamen? , Kat scatological is what? |
Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: catspaw49 Date: 09 Nov 99 - 09:52 AM So I'm currently thinking, "Pluckin' your Pansy" could have merit there WW.......... Spaw |
Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: WyoWoman Date: 09 Nov 99 - 09:44 AM Well, I'm tending toward the more scatological interpretation because the lyrics I'm thinking of say, "If I can't be your Candy Man, let me be your Salty Dog," which doesn't seem to have a lot to do with seafaring. Yet another phallic reference... Men have so many ways of saying the same thing. Women so few. Hmmmm. |
Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: catspaw49 Date: 09 Nov 99 - 09:43 AM I'm sorry, but after this thread, he'll be known as "Long John Seed." Spaw |
Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: Adrian Leach Date: 09 Nov 99 - 09:37 AM As colourful and far more entertaining as the other suggestions are, I am afraid a Salty Dog, in all the contexts I have heard or read it in, is nothing more than a sailor(more often "Salty Sea Dog"). See RLS' Treasure Island. UNLESS as a youth I totally misconstrued Long John Silver's meaning when he said he was going below decks to slap a Salty Dog ..... which rather changes the flavour of the book. Thank you to BSEED for the insight.

Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: Easy Rider Date: 09 Nov 99 - 09:02 AM I've been told that a "Salty Dog" is a Pimp. |
Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: catspaw49 Date: 09 Nov 99 - 08:07 AM Geez Chet, there WAS a subject? Spaw |
Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: Date: 09 Nov 99 - 08:05 AM Not to get off the subject, but does anyone know what the "snake" refers to in "Black Snake Moan"? How about the banana in "Banana Boat Song"? Chet |
Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: catspaw49 Date: 09 Nov 99 - 07:15 AM .....LMAO with you Allan!!! Gotta' say that's hard to top! Nothin, stiff or formal about Seed. And you know it wasn't an accident either since Seed would never make a boner like that; he's just an up front kinda' guy and a really great member. Spaw |
Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: Allan C. Date: 09 Nov 99 - 06:55 AM Seed, I'm LMAO on that "extension" line! |
Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 09 Nov 99 - 12:48 AM Kat and I seemed to be posting at the same time: I guess she not only beat me to the punch, Dick's definition topped mine. --seed |
Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 09 Nov 99 - 12:43 AM I guess since it's after midnight back east, Wyo, Catspaw's coming along to save me the embarrassment of explaining this to you isn't going to happen, so here it goes: a "salty dog" is a penis, or by extension, a man, a lover. --seed

Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: katlaughing Date: 09 Nov 99 - 12:39 AM Oh, my JohninB....good memory. Here is a link, WW, to a previous, short thread, in which Dick speaks about the sordid parts of NYC, briefly. **BG** kat |
Subject: RE: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: John in Brisbane Date: 09 Nov 99 - 12:19 AM I recall that Dick Greenhaus relived some of his sordid past to give this answer some time ago - I didn't understand it prior to his answer. |

Subject: What's a 'Salty Dog?' From: WyoWoman Date: 08 Nov 99 - 11:49 PM Having listened again to Rick Fielding's new CD, which has a song about "Salty Dog" in it, which is different from the Mississippi John Hurt song I heard years ago about "Salty Dog," and, I think, the Taj Mahal version as well, I was wondering just what the heck that really refers to. What/who's a salty dog? (besides, of course, a sort of odd mixed drink involving grapefruit juice and something alcoholic...) WyoWoman |
