I have a bachelor's degree in English, working my way up to a master's, and I've never heard of the term larboard until this fight. I don't think it's necessarily a matter of if you're 'educated' or not. I like to think I'm a relatively decent player, and that fight is the one fight I'll die over and over again in, and I say that with no shame.
