Thread: Say again?

    Default Say again?

    One could hear the sound of muffled oars around here....



    Oh that could be a topic...

    Muffling an oar means wrapping something (usually cloth or animal skins) around the oar at the contact point with the oarlock in order to deaden the sounds of oar and oarlock scraping as you row.

    But then the same matey said the "Board of Trade" was a bench in Hyde Park.

    No not even for the football! let alone the muffled whores.
    Gives a whole new perspective to the term fraternisation.
    Bligh.
