Nautical or Aviation terms?

<< < (4/5) > >>

Hunter.:
I find the best way to remember Port and Starboard is the phrase "There is no port left" a pun, since port is also a drink for people who don't understand. Also that leaves starboard as right by elimination. For fore and aft, you just have to think that "fore" comes before the rest of the ship and "aft" comes after the rest of the ship!

An effective system for full RP



2 points abaft the starboard beam!

this and "over yonder"

Sammy B. T.:
I just say "there" until someone on my crew gives a better description.

RethBurn:
Oh man. My commands are a blur that I have just now realized is AviatioNautical. Sometimes it just turns into Portleft and RightSide. Or Downcending. Ahem, words are totally a thing.
