I remember something about having to go to the stern on wooden ships to go to the bathroom for number two, surely not number one depending on the wind

So where does the term "poop deck" come from or how about the term "winch"?

Surely "winch" is a pirate name for bar girls

Not to mention the "golden rivet" every newbie sailor had to find or in the days of steel hull ships ...

maybe we shouldn't go there ... you know where the term "candy ass" came from right?
