關於產品
Product Information
The origins of a remarkable number of everyday words and phrases are anchored in our seafaring past. Three Sheets to the Wind: The Nautical Origins of Everyday Expressions is an entertaining compilation revealing the maritime roots of common English expressions. The original slush fund was the fatty scraps from boiled meat that the ship's cook secretly stashed away to sell at port to candle makers. The man who originally turned a blind eye was Admiral Nelson. In one of Naval history's most famous acts of insubordination, Nelson, in the heat of battle, raised his telescope to his blind eye and announced he could not see the signal flag commanding him to break off action. The perfect companion for etymology lovers, factophiles, ocean dreamers, and the conversationally curious, Three Sheets to the Wind features 200 words and expressions that are nautically inspired. Alphabetically organized (from A to Sea) readers can also enjoy 100 original illustrations as well as relevant excerpts from the great novels of Melville, Forester, O'Brian, and others. These passages illustrate how such literary giants reached for these expressions in their classic masterpieces. Our everyday speech is peppered with language used by sailors when someone says they are pooped because they stayed to the bitter end of happy hour .

Ok. Not a fan of the vacuum style cardboard packaging. Does not offer the book good protection as it can still be bent. Booked arrived wavy and creased. It is also an excessive amount of material required to send a small/thin paperback. Just send it in a small cardboard bookpack. Took quite a while for the book to arrive for an order sent and received within metro Melb. Ordered 29 April and arrived on 20th May.
