From my own dictionary:

 

Total excitement = getting on the ship

Total depression = getting off the ship.

Hate when they make you get off, should be illegal. It's my cruise I'll what I want:D:D:D

To a mariner, we classify cargo by loading type:

 

Container ship: lift on/lift off (LO/LO)

Vehicle carrier: roll on/roll off (RO/RO)

Cruise ship: walk on/walk off (WO/WO), or more accurately (WOE/WOE)

 

Remember, cruise passengers are the only cargo that talks back. :D

 

Shouldn't that be WOE/WOF? (Walk on empty - walk off full):rolleyes:

 

Reminds me that RAF helicopter pilots used to refer to the soldiers travelling in their helicopter as ballast.:mad:

Though I did offer extra credit to the first student who could give me the correct meaning of the acronym IRA

 

In a financial-planning context, it stands for Individual Retirement Account. In the context of "The Troubles," it stands for Irish Republican Army. In the context of male given names, it is a male given name (initial cap only).

 

I will take my extra credit in the form of shipboard credit, if you please. :)
