The Navy. Or when you're trying to talk like a pirate.
That's what I figured. Because Captain Kirk said it once. (Some alien put a bomb in engineering that would blow up if the Enterprise went into warp.)
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is "belated" the only form of "belay" that gets used anymore? (Except "belay" is used in the military, right?)
Are belated and belay actually related? Belated is used to describe something that is late and belay means to rescind (as in "belay that order")

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
And rappelling
But with a completely different meaning, no?
Belay that belay line!
Maybe they're related -- the line stops you from plummeting to your death.

Trust my rage
While I don't know for sure, I think they are un related. My attempt at grammar humor fell a little flat.

I would think they're related. "Belay" means to stop/prevent/delay(?), and "belated" means "was delayed".

Huh. "Belate" is a word. It means "To cause something to be late."
