artist Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Did you know............"Son of a gun" has its origins with sailors. When a ship was in port for an extended period of time, wives and other women were permitted to live on board with the ship's crew. Occasionally, children would be born on board and a convenient place for the birth to happen was between guns on the gun deck. If the child's father was unknown, the child was entered in the ship's log as "Son of a gun." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
