iain Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 anyone who thinks more than 5 people is a reasonably-sized group for any climb on Mt. Washington (oregon). bonus points if any person in said group thinks rocks are harmless when kicked off cliff bands. even more points if leader of group believes this is a good place to teach someone how to rappel.

This is the origin of the familiar expression "Between the devil and the deep blue sea." Â actually the devil referred to the longest seam on the ships hull. thus the devil to pay suppoisedly refers to the duty of hanging in a long sling off the side while the ship is carreened, scraping barnacles and caulking this seam. Â both stories are probably bullshit actually. THE DEVIL. you know, the guy with horns. none of this plank bullshit, they were Satanists!!

klenke Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Dru, according to these, we're both right more or less: http://phrases.shu.ac.uk/bulletin_board/7/messages/262.html http://www.tribuneindia.com/2001/20010512/windows/roots.htm http://www.shipsandcruises.com/nautical_notes.htm  And now that I've been reading some of these, I remembered a little more of what I knew of this: that to tar the side of the ship a sailor hung from this plank (and in so being, was between the devil and the deep blue sea). It was apparently a dangerous task, thus the expression's meaning of being in a precarious situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbirdseat Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 In carvel built (or planked) ships the boards were placed side by side as opposed to overlapped as in shiplap construction. The resulting seams each had to be waterproofed by being stuffed with a ribbon of a recycled material called oakum made from retired hemp ropes. The oakum was saturated with tar and shoved into the seams, which were then filled with more tar. It was a very messy business and explains why sailors were sometimes referred to as "Jack Tar". If a ship "worked", that is flexed, in a heavy sea, the oakum in the seams could work its way loose and the ship would leak. Since picking oakum was such unpleasant business it was often assigned to prisoners, which explains how the phrase "pickin' oakum" came to mean getting into trouble.
