            Fresh Off the Slave Ship

            A term typically used to apply to people when they are dressed too gaudily for a given occasion. It is believed that when Africans were brought to America as slaves, they thought they were going on a cruise and wore their best clothes. When they landed, they found out that it was all for nought.
