Get Your Skates On! - Can anyone else confirm the rather rude origin of this phrase?!

Ade, you're right. This is one of those expressions where we're going to have to dig a little harder. Maybe post on a naval slang site. I found several while I was looking for this expression. I have heard or seen this explanation before, but I can't remember where.

ESC,

Please Post any info you may stumble across......

Cheers, Ade
