Sailor, in slang (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tar

(Other definitions for tar that I've seen before include "Sticky substance - seaman" , "Thick, black and sticky liquid" , "Flammable liquid; sailor" , "one may need to pay on boat" , "Tobacco residue; sailor" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
