This is a line from the Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner".

The first guy does not know what she/he is talking about!

- I don't know what "the first guy" said, but if it is the opposite of this, then he was right. Ocean water is very high in sodium. The role of your cells(as far as water) is to keep the concentration of solute in the cells the same as outside. In this case, salt is the solute. If you ingest too much salt, your cells will let out water to even out the concentration. This makes them SHRINK. When you drink too much fresh water, the concentration of solute inside your cells is higher, causing them to draw in water. This could eventually cause them to lyse, or burst, from having too much water in them.
