Land Lubber/lover?

Posted by Lotg October 10, 2003In reply to Land Lubber posted by Jolly Roger on October 10, 2003

What's the origination of this word for a non-sailor?

What's a lubber?

Isn't this actually 'lover'? And the pronunciation 'lubber' is just as a result of the accent or dialect of the time?
