noun

Mentiroso

A swabber responsible for cleaning the outside parts of the ship rather than the cabins, a role traditionally assigned to a person caught telling a lie the previous week.

Examples :

""Because Thomas told a tall tale about seeing a mermaid, he was assigned to be the liar for the week, scrubbing the deck instead of cleaning the captain's quarters." "

Debido a que Thomas contó una historia exagerada sobre haber visto una sirena, fue asignado a ser el mentiroso de la semana, fregando la cubierta en lugar de limpiar los aposentos del capitán.
