Sure, mercy, it's all good. I don't have any particular military background, and I knew the term. I was just surprised a little that's all. No harm, no foul. It's not the first time one of UG's jokes/insults/references needed explanation. It's part of his charm.

As to its origins, I do believe "old naval military" would be in the ballpark.
