| scurvy |
A disease often caught by sailors that is marked by spongy gums, loosening of the teeth, and a bleeing into the skin and mucous membraines, caused by a lack of asorbic acid which is found in citrus fruits. It is also a term used to insult other sailors. In this context it means one who is disgustingly mean or contemptible. Many sailors will use this word in a more playful bantering context though, calling one another scurvy dogs but without the full intention of slandering.
