Seagull
| Морской словарь |
[1] usn slang for (a) chicken served aboard ship, or (b) a woman who follows her man from port to port. [2] seagull has no meaning in ornithology, but is used by laypeople to refer to all birds of the laridae family. these are typically coastal or inland, rarely venturing far out to sea. an ancient superstition holds that gulls landing in flocks on a ship, or making a loud noise along the coast, prognosticates a storm. this belief goes back to the classical era, being mentioned by pliny, while virgil writes in the georgics: scarce can the billow spare the curved keels, when swift the sea-gulls from the middle main come winging, and their shrieks are shoreward borne
