In fact, at one stage I believe I even referred to myself as a &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/onlineslangdictionary.com\/meaning-definition-of\/septic-tank\" target=\"_blank\">septic tank<\/a>&#8221; (Cockney &amp; Aussie rhyming slang for a yank\u2014an American)&#8230; But I digress, for that isn&#8217;t the Confession that comes to mind.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\">Rather, in my book, I addressed this issue from another angle, and that&#8217;s with regard to a question I often get from people curious about &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.workonayacht.com\/index.php\/yacht-stewardess-job-description\/\">this yacht stewardess job<\/a>&#8221; I held.

Stewardesses, as we once called them, became known by the more gender-neutral, and for some, more professional-sounding title of: Flight Attendants.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing this, many of my American friends, when I told them I was a stewardess on a yacht, would come back at me with comments such as, \u201cDo they really call you a stewardess?\u201d or \u201cWow, that\u2019s an outdated term. Shouldn\u2019t it be something more P.C., like \u2018yacht attendant,\u2019 instead?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I would then have to point out to my interrogators: \u201cDid you not hear how I pronounced it? I did not say \u2018STOO-ar-diss,\u2019 but rather, \u2018stoo-ar-DESS\u2019 (with emphasis on the FINAL, not the first syllable, and also pronouncing it \u201cess\u201d\u2014rhyming with \u201cdress\u201d\u2014not \u201ciss\u201d)\u2026\u2018ar-DESS\u2019\u2026\u2018DESS\u2019\u2026like a British person would say it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll quickly learn that many of the terms in yachting are dictated by British standards, as is the maritime industry on the whole.
