What’s the Scuttlebutt?!
Scuttlebutt Barbershop is a traditional barbershop near NH’s beautiful seacoast. Established in 2015 by Nate Riggs, a Navy veteran, many ask where the name came from. The term “Scuttlebutt” is usually accompanied by a questioning facial expression and head tilt. To be expected! That is unless you were in a seagoing military service. The term was born from two naval terms. “Scuttle” means a hole in the ship’s hull causing it to sink while “butt” means the cask or hogshead from where a ship’s crew would drink water. Thus the navy slang “Scuttlebutt” was created and is still used today. Its meaning is equivalent to rumors or water cooler talk; something similar to what happens in a barbershop. So come on down to Scuttlebutt Barbershop to swap stories, talk about sports or whatever is on your mind!
