"Nom d'un chien!"

There's a hilarious little foreshadowing in the story when the captain asks the French cook about what the "offog" is, and the cook replies "Nom d'un chien!", which is a French exclamation (roughly equivalent to "damnit!"), but literally means "Name of a dog!", which incidentally what the offog is. // Gargaj (talk) 20:12, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that too. Also, the very next items on the list are the dog's appurtenances. And the typo isn't there on the captain's copy. All of which they might have caught if they'd not been caught up in a blind panic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.184.123.45 (talk) 14:57, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
