My dad’s friend had a boat named the “Oy Vey”
Should’ve been oy bay.
what does it mean ?
It’s just a Yiddish phase meaning something like oh, crap or ay yi yi.
It’s an expression that basically means “oh dear”, or “oh no”. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/oy_vey
Unsinkable 2 got me
To be fair though, for all we know unsinkable 1 didn’t sink but blew up or something.
It hit an iceberg.
Definitely the best.
Should’a been “Wood Knot”, or even “Wood Naut”.
Unsinkable II def top of the game.
I own a couple of inflatables, a tiny foldable, car trunk capable dinghy with an 4 hp motor, and a mid sized trailerable RHIB (rigid hull inflatable boat). The dinghy is named cuinmeri (phonetic spelling of Queen Mary in Spanish) and the RIHB is called patchwork, because of all the patches it had before I retubed it. And yes, I’m a near boomer (early Xer) dad.
Patchwork before retubing:
Cirrhosis of the River is the best one on the list, hands down.
These are all good but it isn’t even close.
That’s the one I don’t get.
*Cirrhosis of the liver
Cirrhosis is what happens to your liver if you drink too much
Thanks!
They’re all great except the last one. The “Cirrhosis” one went over my head but I looked it up, it’s excellent. The last one, “aqua holic”, isn’t a dad joke unless I’m missing something.
Being an aquaholic can lead to cirrhosis of the river.
Alcoholic?
The “-holic” suffix is regularly used to mean addict. For example, workaholic. Yes, it originated from “alcoholic”, but it’s commonly used now. So the boat’s name just means “water addict”, there’s nothing punny about it.
Since aqua sounds a bit like alco, the implication is that the boat owner likes both water and booze
IMO that’s a stretch, they aren’t even close to homophones.
It’s a play on alcoholic
They already said they owned a boat, so I assumed this was implied.
My Dad’s sailboat was Passing Wind
“Damn, so the Unsinkable sank, eh? That sucks.”
“Not at all, she’s moored at the pier as we speak. I just wanted another one.”
“Oh. I thought there was a grim joke there.”
“Yeah, most people do, which itself is kind of a joke. Shrimp cocktail?”
“Can’t. Allergic to shellfish.”
“Damn, that sucks.”
Aboat Time is just Canadian
Where’s “wet dream”?
@Viking_Hippie Thank you for these. Really witty, especially Unsinkeable II at which I actually laughed out loud reading it!
I worked for a marina when I was a
childteenager, and my favorite boat name was a sailboat namedC:[ESC]
I can’t decide whether the pencil-pusher who reviews boat naming paperwork has a great job or a terrible one. Should track their workplace injury stats and study the effects of frequent high-intensity eyerolling.
Vocal strain from constant light chuckling. The job title is called Chucklehead.
