"Insubordinate drivel, Suckling," sternly declared Lindsay, "will earn you someday what is known among the lower seafaring elements as a 'Liverpool Kiss,' long before you ever receive one of the more conventional variety, save perhaps for those rare occasions upon which your mother, no doubt in some spell of absentmindedness, has found herself able to bestow that astonishing yet, I fear (unhappy woman), misplaced, sign of affection."

Look, you can both despise and admire a person at the same time! How many levels of shade is this? And it's all because he's been called out, accurately, by a lower ranking crewman! The testicles on this mother-doer!
First, Lindsay claims Darby's going over his head to tattle to Randolph is "insubordinate drivel." That might be but what is Darby supposed to do? Complain to Lindsay himself?! Then he threatens to headbutt the kid. Not directly, of course, but hypothetically! "Oh, someday, kid, somebody less classy and refined than me is going to take physical actions against you for criticizing them fairly and accurately!" Then he calls him a virgin whose only possibility of getting a kiss might be from his mother! And not a motherly kiss but a kiss from an unwilling (and depressed! Geez!) mother who doesn't actually like her son but accidentally gave him one anyway!
It's just a truly phenomenal insult! I still hate Lindsay but, as I think the kids used to say but almost certainly don't say anymore because old people like me now know what they mean when they might say it, "Game recognize game!"
Did I get that right? Does it mean what I think it means? Are the kids still flossing to Fortnite?
