Pipe down, английский
- A signal on the bosun`s pipe to signal the end of the day, requiring lights (and smoking pipes) to be extinguished and silence from the crew.
- The order to dismiss the men from the deck when a duty has been performed on board ship.
- When an outside job had been completed, the boatswain would pipe a command for the crew to disperse and retire below deck. once they had gone, the deck became much quieter, so it was natural for the term to become synonymous with “be silent” and hence a verbal command to “shut up!”
Shot across the bow, английский
A shot fired close to and in front of a moving vessel to warn her to stop, often for boarding.
