sturgeon
[stur-juhn]
-verb
To spoon, greedily.
ETYMOLOGY: roughly playing on the abundance of nautical terms that are sexually suggestive, sturgeon in this context is a nod to the fact that certain varieties are harvested for their caviar.
-noun uncommon
A mixed drink, especially one with gin, usually containing a high ratio of liquor to mixer.
ETYMOLOGY: the usage of the name of a fish has a homophonic translation to "stirred gin," and also serves as a reference to the stereotypical hard drinking ways of seafarers.
