“Son of a gun” apparently is a derogatory term that comes from the saying “Son of a gunner” ie military- navy I think- who would come to shore and have flings, and leave- the woman would get pregnant, and the son would be a ‘son of a gunner’

Not sure if htis is true- but heard it years ago-

Imagine the scenario now running through my head for "son of a biscuit-eating bulldog!"
