Blue Nose

Navy
Definition

A sailor who has crossed the Arctic Circle. Rarer than a Shellback and infinitely more miserable to earn. Your reward is a certificate and permanent cold weather trauma.

Example Usage

"Oh, you're a Shellback? That's cute. I'm a Blue Nose. I crossed the Arctic Circle in January on a destroyer."
