It has its own terms for a very good reason.
It's relative to the boat, so that if you are standing on deck and looking back everyone knows what you mean and not if you are talking about your reative left or the boats.
-
Port was also initially Larboard, but it turns out when shouting a direction from the other side of a boat, having two similar sounding terms for opposite directions often results in crashing said boat, so it was changed in the mid 1800s.

Theaters just call it stage right and stage left
-
Ok so are we settling on bow left and bow right then?
-

Let's name them something edgy and disruptive. How about calling all four sides "X".
-
All sides should be called Alladeen.
-
"attention all hands, pirates off the aladeen"

Rename all 4 points
Triangle Circle X Square

Hey watch your mouth, you can't just erase me!

As. Long as no one fucks with poop deck. Don't you take my poop deck away.
-
Port has the same number of letters in it as "left". Starboard does not have the same number of letters in it as the word left.
-
This is such a useful fact that I probably won't remember!
-
-
Yeah, the theater gets stage left and stage right, so why not.
-
Which side would we tie up to the dock?
-
Both.

As long as no one brings up "larboard", it's fine!
-
Well, you Left the Port to sail...
-
No I didn't, I right the starboard. Right?

Can we please stop censoring words on the internet.
I kind of understand content creators doing it because they want that sweet, sweet money. But when I see people who are not getting paid ad revenue censor themselves so whatever social media platform they are on can make more money something is very wrong.
It's US culture :/
Americans don't have freedom of speech. Really sad.
