Isn't that "butter on steak" or something (we have that expression in Norway, where it's butter on "flesk" but you don't seem to have a word for "flesk" (white thing on meat witch is very bad for you) besides "pork" witch is not what I'm looking for) my dictionary says that the expression I'm looking for is: "it's the same thing twice".
A seaman is a man that's experienced with the sea, isn't it? so why should you say "salty" seaman?
