"Oppo" is British naval slang for colleague, I heard it alot from the older navy staff at the Australian Defence Force Academy. https://www.hmsrichmond.org/dict_o.htm
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Australian_English_m... > OPPO
> Naval slang - short for opposite number - for the person doing the same job as one's self in another watch or ship. In the former case, since you relieved each other (in the old two-watch days), it behoved you to become friends; thus the word Oppo came to mean Chum. On a two-watch watchbill, the name of a man's 'opposite number' in the other watch was shewn against his own name in the opposite column. |
