This is probably a little corny. But I'm gunna try once a day to list the origins of phrases we hear all the time, but never really know where they come from. I can be a negative SOB, sometimes. So I just wanna add a little knowledge, and maybe some positivity.
So..the first one is Son of a gun. Hopefully it provides some entertainment. The phrase originated as 'son of a military man' (that is, a gun). The most commonly repeated version in this strand is that the British Navy used to allow women to live on naval ships. Any child born on board who had uncertain paternity would be listed in the ship's log as 'son of a gun'. |
