If you're not dad naming your boat, you're doing it wrong.

I saw one in Amsterdam called Koekblik (biscuit/cookie tin).

I named my kayak Whoops, but put the letters on it upside down.

This would be even more epic if you do manage to flip it one day

"Jizzle Drizzle".

Years ago in a Devon fishing village

Once you're done with whatever you hired them for, do you have to declare it managed?

[-] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 18 points 10 hours ago

Cirrhosis of the River is the best one on the list, hands down.

[-] Hupf@feddit.org 3 points 1 hour ago

That's the one I don't get.

[-] deacon@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

These are all good but it isn’t even close.

[-] Madrigal@lemmy.world 17 points 12 hours ago

Definitely the best.

Unsinkable II def top of the game.

Where’s “wet dream”?

[-] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

Woah, I've seen "wood not" and "wood too"! Small world

[-] X@piefed.world 8 points 11 hours ago

“Damn, so the Unsinkable sank, eh? That sucks.”

“Not at all, she’s moored at the pier as we speak. I just wanted another one.”

“Oh. I thought there was a grim joke there.”

“Yeah, most people do, which itself is kind of a joke. Shrimp cocktail?”

“Can’t. Allergic to shellfish.”

“Damn, that sucks.”

Aboat Time is just Canadian

I can't decide whether the pencil-pusher who reviews boat naming paperwork has a great job or a terrible one. Should track their workplace injury stats and study the effects of frequent high-intensity eyerolling.

The best ones have to do with divorce

Pier pressure Is my favorite

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 14 hours ago

They're all great except the last one. The "Cirrhosis" one went over my head but I looked it up, it's excellent. The last one, "aqua holic", isn't a dad joke unless I'm missing something.

The "-holic" suffix is regularly used to mean addict. For example, workaholic. Yes, it originated from "alcoholic", but it's commonly used now. So the boat's name just means "water addict", there's nothing punny about it.

[-] Dadifer@lemmy.world 1 points 39 seconds ago

It's a play on alcoholic

[-] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 5 points 6 hours ago

Since aqua sounds a bit like alco, the implication is that the boat owner likes both water and booze

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 hours ago

IMO that's a stretch, they aren't even close to homophones.

[-] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 27 points 13 hours ago

They already said they owned a boat, so I assumed this was implied.

[-] BluescreenOfDeath@lemmy.world 10 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

I worked for a marina when I was a ~~child~~ teenager, and my favorite boat name was a sailboat named

Relevant Flintstones

(Sorry about the shitty video quality; it's the only copy I've ever been able to find.)

@Viking_Hippie Thank you for these. Really witty, especially Unsinkeable II at which I actually laughed out loud reading it!
