Salty Dog 

1. Appalachian slang for favorite person, i.e. best friend or lover. Derived from the practice of rubbing salt on hunting dogs to keep off ticks. Since salt was commonly in limited supply, one would only do this to their favorite dog, and it became slang for favorite person.

2. A drink made with mixed rum and gin.

3. One who spends time on the ocean a lot, such as a sailor. Similar to sea dog.
1." Let me be your salty dog, or I won't be your man at all, honey let me be your salty dog" - Lyrics from "Salty Dog Blues" by Flatt and Scruggs.

2. Mix me up a Salty Dog, bartender!

3. The salty dog walked down the gangway and stumbled due to being used to walking on a boat.
