Salty Language: A Conversation Exploring Expressions and Words of Nautical Origin
Slush fund, fudge the numbers, and son of a gun: we often use words and phrases in everyday conversations and may not realize their origin. Gillian McIntyre, Interpretive Planner and Sherry Phillips, Conservator, will engage in a conversation about language inspired by the Thomson Collection of Ship Models at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
