  Hello,
  hope this wasn't already asked.
  In the 1st episode, Guibrush says "That's a barrel of tar, used for patching up cracks and hazing bosons.".
  I can't find what a "boson" is, unless it refers to Higgs ones.
  Can anybody explain?

  
  lmao! Higgs bosons... lol

  Look up "Bosun" instead of "Boson".
  
  As mentioned above, it's a position on a ship's crew (like Captain or first mate)
