Do you know the etymology of "son of a gun" ?

The british navy used to allow women on ships. Some times a woman would give birth onboard, but nobody would know exactly who the father was. "gun" was slang for a military guy. Hence, the kid would be called "son of a gun."

And instead say "your mom gave birth to you so you're telling me not to say "your mom is a dog," having unprotected sex with a boat full of sailors, after none of whom claimed you."
