Is this real nautical slang or did the writers simply make it up?

[edit] McCoy and Starfleet Academy

• Is the speculation about McCoy not attending Starfleet Academy because he doesn't know one term accurate? I can't see this being adequete proof of this. - Adm. Enzo Aquarius 04:52, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)

It's speculation(and explains itself away) so I have removed it.

McCoy's ignorance of the term suggests that unlike Kirk, McCoy did not graduate from Starfleet Academy but rather received a direct commissioning appointment to Starfleet. This is consistent with the way many staff officers (physicians, lawyers, chaplains) join the U.S armed services today. Or perhaps McCoy wasn't aware of the jargon of the day whereas Wesley and Kirk were.--31dot 08:15, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
