Jib.

The jib sail is the triangular one at the prow of a ship. Different countries used different designs, so liking the cut of a jib meant you recognized it.

Funny, because 'gob' is a slang term for sailor.

The term "gob" is colloquial, originating from the slang used within the navy to refer to sailors. Its use is informal and can carry a tone of familiarity or affection among members of the naval community. On the other hand, "sailor" is the more formal and universally recognized term for anyone who works or serves on a ship, regardless of their specific duties or the type of vessel. "Sailor" encompasses a broad category of maritime professionals and enthusiasts, including those in both military and civilian spheres.

So, send me $10.00 for a banana

You’re right and you caught the reference, I don’t know why you were downvoted.
