Splicing the mainbrace aboard HMS Wren during World War II
"Splice the mainbrace" is an order given aboard naval vessels to issue the crew with an alcoholic drink. Originally an order for one of the most difficult emergency repair jobs aboard a sailing ship, it became a euphemism for authorized celebratory drinking afterward, and then the name of an order to grant the crew an extra ration of rum or grog.

It was on the good ship Venus, by Christ you should have seen us, the figurehead was a whore in bed and the mast a rampant penis...

He wasn’t fit to shovel shit
From one room to another
