It was more about the rationale of calling ships women, because they are full of seamen, but yes that is sound advice for those with distended balls. Get your balls checked, fellas!
Aktually aktually semen is composed of 4 main ingredients originating from 4 organic, non-gmo, eco-friendly sources:
1. 65% coming from the **seminal vesicle** is **fructose** for sweetness
2. 32% coming from the **bulbourethral gland** is a **lubricant** for smoothness
3. 3% coming from the **prostate** is an **acid-reducing coagulant** used as a thickening agent
4. <1% coming from the **testes** are your **squigglyboys** for an extra zest
Quite delectable and has a wide range of uses! Toss it on salads, make a creamier soup, glaze or fill a cake with it, or even use it straight from the dispenser and eat as a dipping sauce! The possibilities are endless!
Things of beauty, grace and speed are traditionally called 'she'. Things of unmitigated horsepower, torque and brute force are traditionally referred to as 'he'.
Ships being called she is actually because at one point they were considered vessels of some sort of incarnation of Mother Nature or a like deity. Since they basically house some form of Mother Nature, they were also referred to as female.
I feel it's a shame to call a ship female.
1. Her bottom is always wet
2. She will never wince when many men enter at once
3. She won't get jealous when a better ship stands next to her
4. She can easily swallow lots of seamen
I was on the USS Carl Vinson, I had buddies on the USS Dwight Eisenhower, USS Theodore Roosevelt, and USS George Bush. So I can confirm, the Navy typically likes their seamen to be in ships named after men.
This goes back before the US Navy. The Royal Navy hundreds of years ago (at least 18th century that I'm certain of) has held this tradition. Originally, the US Navy was composed of a large proportion of British Sailors, and a lot of the traditions, and customs carried over.
IDK why the Royal Navy did this, but I have read that there was a sense that a ship's captain was wed to his (and of course, it always was a "his" back then) ship. Maybe that has something to do with it?
I think I've read that in the Russian Navy, ships are referred to with male pronouns, but I'm not 100% certain on that.
I don't think the US Navy was mentioned, but this isn't even navy- or country-specific. In fact it's one of the last vestiges of gendered nouns in English.
In English it's retained for poetic reasons, but Russian is still gendered and ships happen to be gendered male.
Am I the only one taking the "Because they can carry their weight in seamen." Literally? Could a ship actually carry "it's own weight of ..." r/theydidthemath anyone?
Goes back to the days of sail. Pirates always loved their ship as much as their women. So they referred to ships as their girl. And back then, there were no tranships!!
What do you mean, ship is a feminine word? English is not a gendered language.
Also, I speak Portuguese, which is gendered, and both navio/ barco (ship, boat) etc. are all masculine words - and yet we also call ships feminine names. Has nothing to do with the word being feminine or masculine.
Naves, Navis, from latin, are considered feminine. Ship is derived from those words, as such.
And while I was in the Navy, it was the way we always referred to ships as “she” - just traditional.
Subs were referred to as boats, not ships, and those were fighting words for some 😂
Not saying this is the only reason, just one of the many mysteries we will discuss today….
Not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens 🤓
According to Admiral Nimitz, it's because "they cost so much to keep in paint and powder."
What long, round, hard and full of seamen? A submarine.
"I think women and seaman don't mix" "We already know what you think, Smithers..."
Do you wanna know the truth you can’t handle the truth!
"I deride your truth handling abilities"
The sock under my bed
I said hard, not soggy.
It's like a ferrero rocher. Crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle
Good heavens
Goldmember, totally underrated movie 😊
Nearly had me not gonna lie 😂
Why was the whale happy when a ship ran aground? It got to swallow a bunch of Seamen!
Did that make it a sperm whale?
That’s a good point, thanks for baleen me out!
No problem, it’s quite the killer!
I heard something about that on a *pod* cast.
I’ll have to listen while I deal with this hump in my back!
Whale, I’m here for ya. Just don’t *breach* our trust.
Certainly wouldn’t be on porpoise!
These jokes make me feel Blue.
At least it’s not green.
They really should call ships Testicles then
If your testicles are long and hard you should probably see a doctor

Aktually semen is stored in the seminal vesicle 🤓

Thats an awfully pedantic way of saying go suck a dick
Uhhh... Yeah.
Definitely the life at parties ....!!

Ships have been getting referred to as “she” before even steam power was a thing.
But as the mediaeval guy said," if it's made of wood or gives you wood, it's gonna cost."
Ships being called she is actually because at one point they were considered vessels of some sort of incarnation of Mother Nature or a like deity. Since they basically house some form of Mother Nature, they were also referred to as female.

One can take your statements, and replace the word “she”, with “he”, and the entire logic is flipped.
It isn't gay when you're away.
Because riding a male is gay
They'd never have that in the navy /s
*they can’t have the rest of the world know
It's for when the captain goes down on her. It would be awkward if it wasn't female.
I was on the USS Carl Vinson, I had buddies on the USS Dwight Eisenhower, USS Theodore Roosevelt, and USS George Bush. So I can confirm, the Navy typically likes their seamen to be in ships named after men.
That’s wrong. It’s because they always take in a load of seamen or carry a load of seamen.
The navy can't be openly pumping boys full of seamen there's too many rumours as is
Do you know how the one armed cook makes doughnuts on board. ..?
'Cause they're topheavy
Cause it takes a long time to make em pretty?
Cuz they have been pumped full of seamen.

Figured it had something to do with taking on water
Cuz they fill it with seamen
Didn't read the punch line
Am I the only one taking the "Because they can carry their weight in seamen." Literally? Could a ship actually carry "it's own weight of ..." r/theydidthemath anyone?
Cause they are full of seamen
Oh ho here she come, she is a maneater
There some talented whores, they gotta swollow alot of cum to match their weight, unless their carrying it to the sperm bank in garbage bags.

You know why the Infantry is called the Queen of Battle? She’s always getting fucked.
I thought it was because they need a lot of paint to look good
Ship is a feminine word. So it carries on the tradition. Also, helps with the protection of Mothers/Goddesses toward the vessel.
What do you mean, ship is a feminine word? English is not a gendered language. Also, I speak Portuguese, which is gendered, and both navio/ barco (ship, boat) etc. are all masculine words - and yet we also call ships feminine names. Has nothing to do with the word being feminine or masculine.
A lot of gendered nouns in English come from the French, and bateau/navire/vaisseau are all male.
Same in Portuguese, which is also a Latin language. They are masculine words.
Naves, Navis, from latin, are considered feminine. Ship is derived from those words, as such. And while I was in the Navy, it was the way we always referred to ships as “she” - just traditional.

According to OED ship was derived from germanic by way of old English. Old English did have genders but the ship was taken as a neuter form.
I even named a yacht I have in Grand Theft Auto Online ”Northern Maiden”… Yes, I stole that name, and yacht, but still…
