Hello Sailor!

Never give your number to a sailor.

(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 15:49, Reply)

Why?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 15:50, Reply)

I don't know if its still done,
But apparently, back when my Dad was in the navy, if they weren't that keen on you, they'd go back to the ship and pin it on the noticeboard. Along with whatever else you gave them: addresses, photos etc.
So the sailor you arranged a date with wasn't necessarily the on ethat turned up on your doorstep.

Is Russian for 'Hello Sailor'?

You live and learn - I never knew that.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 15:53, Reply)

It's "strasvitchit [whatever] moriat"
Or you say soemthing to that effect in a thick affected Russian accent. Pretty Russian laughed at me when I tried to tell him I loved him, so I just said it in Hebrew.

My language skills are rubbish.
I can get by in English, but everything else is foreign to me.

Do you have to say 'Hello Sailor' (in Russian) in a camp way?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 15:56, Reply)

It's more a husky, bear way I'd imagine

My favourite phrase to say in Greek is
No, I don't have a boyfriend.

Never shag a greek lad! They'll think you're theirs for life if you do that. Schoolgirl error.
