Get the Ship's Mast mug.Related Words
In sailing days prior to steam engines, each ship leaving port would choose the ship's punk for that voyage. Women were not allowed on sailing ships in those days (as crew), but it was considered unhealthy to go too long without sexual release. Voyages often took weeks or months.
The ship's punk was chosen by lot, only the prior voyage's punk being exempt. Once chosen, that sailor's only duty was as cum bucket until the ship reached port again. He was to be available at any time for any crewman who desired to relieve his testicles of sperm build up. Generally, it was anal intercourse in such acts.
No particular emphasis on the title, though it was considered derogatory to be called the punk when it was not your turn. Since any man among the crew was in the lottery to become ship's punk, it was never wise to take insults or jokes about the punk too far. You never knew when the old punk was going to have a turn at the screwing the new punk.
To use the ship's punk did not make you homosexual in the modern sense. When in port, the majority of crewmen would happily make use of the prostitutes and women of the town. Considered a form of institutional/situational homosexuality only occurring during/in instances of enforced separation from women. It was also likely there were some bisexual and gay crewmen, just there are today.
The term 'punk' originates here, not with prisons, street slang, insult as an inferior male or with the music genre.

Get the Ship's punk mug.As the previous commenter said, to ‘play ship’s mast’ is to climb out of the passenger seat of a car with the belts out of both windows and to lie on the bonnet/hood holding the belts while travelling at speed. The film in question is called Deathproof however, not Grindhouse.

Get the SHIP'S CANNON mug.In television: a ship that is considered canon due to overwhelming use of romance tropes and a love declaration from half the ship, but also left "open to interpretation" by viewers who want to see it as platonic because the writer(s) deliberately left it ambiguous by removing the couple from the story or killing them before the other half can respond to said love declaration and confirm reciprocation. The couple can be interpreted as both "canon by valid assumption due to vast amounts of supporting evidence" and "not-canon by absence of explicit confirmation of reciprocation" depending on viewer preference.
