Alright, I have to ask...

[John Kugler]

Anyone heard any scuttlebutt about when 4.2 is going to be released?

Just asking, I'm sure this is a dumb question because no one really knows, but I am curious.

Sorry if I offended anyone with the use of the word "scuttlebutt"......

Don't know about 4.2 release date.

Who & how did the word scuttlebutt come into the english language. The words make no sense for what they mean. Look them up seperately..it makes no sense

[cmmguy]

The nautical term Scuttlebutt originally (and still) means a water fountain or water cask on a ship. However, it is now more commonly used as slang for "information" or "gossip".

Water for immediate consumption on a sailing ship was conventionally stored in a sailor's butt: a butt (cask or small barrel) which had been scuttled by making a hole in it so the water could be withdrawn. Since Sailors exchanged gossip when they gathered at the scuttlebutt for a drink of water, scuttlebutt became U.S. Navy slang for gossip or rumors.

ewwww, sailor's butt water.

A new name for one of Craig's homebrews???

I meant "sailor's butt water", however, "Scuttlebutt Ale" actually isn't a bad name.

nautical terms hahaha "cold enough to freeze the ba lls off a brass monkey" when cannonball were stored next to there cannons they were stacked in a pyramid on a brass tray called a monkey when the ship got into colder weather the cannon balls and tray would change size and the balls would fall off hence the term.
