Splice the mainbrace, английский
- A euphemism, it is an order given aboard naval vessels to issue the crew with a drink, traditionally grog. the phrase splice the mainbrace is used idiomatically meaning to go ashore on liberty, intending to go out for an evening of drinking.
- [1] enjoy an alcoholic drink. [2] issue an extra ration of rum. the main brace was one of the biggest running lines in the ship, so splicing it was extremely arduous. moreover, it ran high up the mainmast, making the task dangerous as well. the job was so disliked that it became traditional to give seamen performing it an extra tot of rum or brandy. later the practice was extended to cover any special occasion, such as after combat or to celebrate an anniversary. that being said, it is something of a mystery that the phrase refers to running rigging at all, since standing rigging was much heavier and therefore harder to splice. for example, the principal stay on a first-rate was six inches (15 cm) in diameter and would have been far more arduous to splice than even the biggest brace. on the other hand, a running line was more likely to chafe and snap.
