Where did the term lubber come from as in lubber's line?
In days of old, when the first compasses were put on sailing ships, there was no lubber line. It seems that most average people were smart enough to determine where they were going by looking at the compass. Unfortunately, there were a number of people not smart enough to handle this simple feat. Back then, these witless people were called lubber, and the lubber line referred to how the sailing world viewed those who needed such a line. Now you know when someone is calling you a land lubber, they are really calling you a land moron.
