When 2 or more
sailors go out on liberty in a foreign port and the drunkest
sailor buys the hookers and in the morning realizes how much he spent and asks his buddies for some of the money back. Never
all of it.
Example:
Jay got hammered last night in
Hong Kong and bought us all hookers. Then he had
the nerve to ask for some money the next morning saying he was giving us the
shipmate discount.
