There's a lot about the early history of salt that isn't known, including who first used it and when or how it was discovered that it preserved food. We were sort of handed, in history, this world where everyone knew about salt. And it's not clear exactly how that developed.

Juliette Binoche

In a building with apartments, of course, you want to make connections. Life is easier that way. There's salt if you don't have salt; you can knock at someone's door, like in any city. But you know, you can hear the others, and you want to sleep, you get annoyed.

In chemistry, 'salt' refers to a compound, not just the seasoning.

Sensory Description

An informal term often used affectionately to refer to sailors.

Maritime Slang
