Starboard, bow, crow'snest, doesn't matter, they're all referencing dicks. If a sailor says something you don't understand, he's talking about a dick he sucked or took in the butt.

Left has less letters than right.

Starboard has more letters than port.

Starboard = right
Port = left

It doesn't matter, her old man will know you don't know wtf you're talking about in 30 seconds. You might as well cut your losses and own up to it so he doesn't think you're as much of a scrub.

I don't think "salty old sea dogs" are the ones sailing any more.

I've been out on sailboats (family members have them) but I'm probably not the one to help you out.
