Does that mean that they used to be called "nchors" then?

I'm simply A-gog at your nautical linguistics !

All whilst being a bit A-sea on the bilgerat sub as an A-ganger!

Well he'll have to come up here and get me 'cos I ain't coming down there, no way! Anyhow, I couldn't do it when it came to it: he looked so sweet sleeping there with that teddy bear and those jim-jams with the little submarines all over 'em.

Well I suppose I did stick it to him just a little bit, but I gave him some time to wake up, to be fair...

PS/ Catfish made me do it
