Arranging animals - or Popeye, say (6,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sailor man

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'popeye say' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'arranging animals or' is the wordplay.
'arranging' is an anagram indicator.
'animals'+'or'='animalsor'
'animalsor' with letters rearranged gives 'SAILOR-MAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for sailor man that I've seen is " Jack".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
