If you’ve worked onboard long enough, you already know ship language is a whole different world.
A crew member recently nailed it in a fun video that perfectly captures how we all start sounding after a few contracts and honestly, it’s way too accurate.
At some point, you don’t even realize you’re saying these anymore. It just becomes automatic. Then you go home on vacation and your friends look at you like… what language are you speaking?
That’s the beauty of ship life. You’ve got crew from all over the world, mixing accents, cultures, and expressions into one shared “crew language” that only we truly understand.
It might sound funny on land, but onboard? It’s completely normal and honestly, it’s part of what makes crew life unique.
Be honest… which one do you use the most?
