clipping reporting the incident
with this comment: II suppose
I've seen the word landlubber'
a thousand times without ever
bothering to think about its
meaning and derivation. Now.
though, acting on your advice
to pay closer attention to the
words we read every day, I'm
moved to speculate on this
one. My guess is that land
lubber' is a corruption of land
lover and means a person un-
happy to be aboard ship and
yearning to be back home on
shore. Correct?"
Not quite. A landlubber
quite conceivably could love
the sea and still merit that
label. You see, a landlubber
is an awkward novice aboard
ship-a stumbling, bumbling
greenhorn, whose lack of ex-
perience is apparent in every
thing he does.
Nor does "lubber" come from
lover" It's a word derived
from the Anglo-Saxon 'lobbe"
and means a slow, clumsy, in
experienced person. Apparent
~ the original intent Of the
sailors derisive label land
lubber" was a person so awk-
ward that he'd be clumsy even
back on land"

your wives already know the
