From sweetie to the marine operator was private and confidential... From the
marine operator to Barnicle Bill, it was up for grabs... Great evening
entertainment.

"Poopsie, is that you?"

"Yes ducky doo, it's me."


I'd add: "and everyone aboard the sub. Not much privacy
aboard a crowded sub; they all can hear this". Thus warning
her not to give too much detail on private matters..."

People on a sub would have to know, at least after the
first call to someone's sweetie was placed....
