Shellback

HEY GUYS!

So I was looking up what a "shellback" is online and I found this great cite that explains what a pollywog is as well.

A short explanation is a pollywog is someone who is about to cross the equator for the first time or, simply, someone who has not crossed the equator.

A shellback is someone who has crossed the equator before.

A Golden Shellback is someone who has crossed the equator at the 180th meridian.


Here is the link to more detailed information on shellbacks and pollywogs:
