Book excerpt: Did you know the phrase "Mind your Ps and Qs" derives from the custom of keeping tabs on the "pints and quarts" sailors drank in waterfront taverns? Or that the term "Yankee" derives from "yanker", a Dutch word for "wrangler" that was often applied to argumentative American sea captains? Or that the mild British expletive "bloody" is a corruption of the pious oath "By Our Lady", once common among British sailors? The drawings of Cedric Windas, dating from the mid 1930s to the late 1940s, illustrate the origins of hundreds of words and phrases that have made their way from naval jargon into everyday language, as well as those that haven't but have interesting origins, nonetheless. Also illustrated are beginnings of the many traditions that are commonly associated with naval life, including tattooing, the design of uniforms and the use of hammocks aboard ship, among many others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For decades he treated Logan like an animal, a feral beast tied to a leash and forced to do his bidding. He stole Logan's child, ripping him from his dead mother's womb and raising him as a savage. He twisted that child into a killing machine even more lethal than his father. He formed a band of feral champions, ready to kill on command. And now the time has come. The time when Wolverine finally meets the man who made him who he is! And there shall be a reckoning! This is it! Logan finally lays eyes on the man who made him the best there is at what he does: Romulus!"--Page 4 of cover.

Download or read book Mess Night Traditions written by Charles J. Gibowicz and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-09 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the military Sea Service Mess Night, the Sea Services consisting of the Navy, Marines and Coast Guard. Mess Nights are traditional, time-honored events going back to at least the 18th Century. Formal military dining has historically been a way to communicate, to celebrate special events and a way to promote unity and camaraderie. The Mess Night, although a military formation and a formal event, is also a great deal of fun. Some of today's protocol and script is not exactly matching the past. Today's Mess Night is a bit more regimented and programmed but basically reflects all that was included in the old days and also reflects some of procedures used during the days of sail. This book is written because there are no books on Mess Nights, this is a first. Like many Sea Service customs and traditions, this custom has been handed down from generation to generation unwritten. Scripts and instructions were not necessary as Mess dinners were common. The British Navy can claim a continuous, unbroken tradition and they are basically the providers of the American tradition. They host Mess dinners much more frequently than the Americans do and the entire Navy traditionally celebrates the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar. Americans have no set celebration and also have fewer Mess Nights. Many officers are not even aware of Mess Nights. This is because of several factors covered in the book. Hopefully, this book will stimulate greater interest in this important event. As the alcohol rule for ships rule has been loosened, it is particularly hopeful that shipboard Mess Nights can again become an event. It would be most appropriate to celebrate the event for which the ship is named or to begin the tradition of celebrating Navy Day or other famous event such as those listed in this book.
