Sailors are sometimes referred to as "squabs" in a nautical context, particularly in historical settings. The term originally described young, inexperienced sailors, akin to how "squab" refers to a young pigeon. This slang reflects their perceived naivety or lack of experience at sea. Over time, the term has become less common but may still be encountered in maritime literature or folklore.
