Can we please stop censoring words on the internet.
I kind of understand content creators doing it because they want that sweet, sweet money. But when I see people who are not getting paid ad revenue censor themselves so whatever social media platform they are on can make more money something is very wrong.

Of f**king course no.
It has its own terms for a very good reason.
It's relative to the boat, so that if you are standing on deck and looking back everyone knows what you mean and not if you are talking about your reative left or the boats.
Port was also initially Larboard, but it turns out when shouting a direction from the other side of a boat, having two similar sounding terms for opposite directions often results in crashing said boat, so it was changed in the mid 1800s.
Theaters just call it stage right and stage left
Ok so are we settling on bow left and bow right then?
Yeah, the enemies gate is always down. My body's left is always my body's left. Just like the ships left is always left from the front lol.
Ain't nobody riding around in a intertube ship lol.
Let's name them something edgy and disruptive. How about calling all four sides "X".
All sides should be called Alladeen.
"attention all hands, pirates off the aladeen"
Rename all 4 points
Triangle Circle X Square
Hey watch your mouth, you can't just erase me!
As. Long as no one fucks with poop deck. Don't you take my poop deck away.
Port has the same number of letters in it as "left". Starboard does not have the same number of letters in it as the word left.
This is such a useful fact that I probably won't remember!
Yeah, the theater gets stage left and stage right, so why not.
I can never remember which is which. Is there some easy way to recall which is left and which is right?
(Same goes for red and green light on the sides.)
“Red Right Returning”
When two ships approach each other bow-on (that’s the front of the ship), each will see the red running light to their right. Which if my spatial reasoning hasn’t failed me, means that they’re on the left (port) side of the ship.
Red Right Return actually refers to returning to harbor or marina. The red channel navigation markers and lights will be on your right.
And not quite; the boat mounted lights indicate to the other boat who has right of way.
For two powerboats crossing, the one on the right has right of way, and they will see (are given) a green light on the other boat.
While the other sees red, like a matador's cape, which tells it to yield. (which doesn't work for bulls and just makes them angry because they are color blind)
RRR... Catchy. Thx
Port ----- starboard
Left ----- right
I always remember that port is short, left is short, in terms of letter length.
Red ----- green
Also!
I was once on a boat where that stairs thingy was on its left side. The port is where you get on the boat, and the stairs thingy is how you get on the boat. The stairs thingy is on the left, so port is left. Works every time.
I give you my permission to use this mnemonic device however you see fit. You're welcome.
If you always say left before right you can remember that port and starboard is the same order. I'll say to myself in my head "left right, port starboard" whenever I need to remind myself.
Nah, that's what I thought, but then I think about it a bit harder and I convince myself it's backwards lol. Maybe the left = 4 letters and port = also 4 letters fact someone else mentioned will work for my adhd brain
Which side would we tie up to the dock?
Both.
#justslipdockthings
As long as no one brings up "larboard", it's fine!
Well, you Left the Port to sail...
No I didn't, I right the starboard. Right?
