hello sailor!
hello, sailor! /interj./ Occasional West Coast equivalent of
hello, world; seems to have originated at SAIL, later
associated with the game Zork (which also included "hello,
aviator" and "hello, implementor"). Originally from the
traditional hooker's greeting to a swabbie fresh off the boat, of
course.
