YISS (Yours in Sea Scouting) Carlos M Arenas Skipper, Ship 238 - Sea Scouts BSA "Excelsior, ever upward" Scuttlebutt in slang usage means rumor or gossip, deriving from the nautical term for the cask used to serve water (or, later, a water fountain) Water for immediate consumption on a sailing ship was conventionally stored in a scuttled butt: A butt (cask) which had been scuttled by making a hole in it so the water could be withdrawn. Since sailors exchanged gossip when they gathered at the scuttlebutt for a drink of water, scuttlebutt became Navy slang for gossip or rumours. 954-782-8668 ................. office 954-324-7084 ................. cell 954-301-0106 ................. fax carlos@ship238.org ........... email www.ship238.org .............. website calendar.ship238.org ......... calendar fb.ship238.org ............... facebook photos.ship238.org ........... photo gallery To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Scuttlebutt Archives.
