What does it mean: bull's-eye, slopchest and bondstore?

Hi,

please try to guess, the native speakers are mostly annoyed when they don't understand they own language.

Maybe these words (bull's-eye, slopchest and bondstore) are no English anymore?

I wish you luck!

Hi Captain Jan

The words "bondstore" and "slopchest" sound like fairly specialized words. I assume they're all connected with a ship somehow. ;) (Are you sure they're written together?)

"Bull's eye" can mean "the center part of a target". But, from your question, I assume there's another meaning on a ship. :lol:

I know the word "slop" to be "unappetizing food" or "food for pigs", for example....

I can imagine what a "bond store" would be in connection with shipping (or import/export) --> a warehouse connected with customs or a "bonded warehouse".

There is a BBQ sauce called Bull's eye.
If anyone's interested.
I love that sauce.
