Dressed to the nines
| Морской словарь |
This phrase can be traced to the 17th century, and it has been claimed it refers to wearing a full set of men’s clothing (waistcoat, breeches, and great coat). tailoring these garments (with a minimal amount of waste) required nine yards of cloth. this seems less convincing than the competing explanation that a ship-of-the-line had three masts, each with three principal yards (course, topsail, and topgallant) and, when they were all as elegantly- decorated as possible, it was “dressed to the nines.”

- An important aspect of building trust in a computer-based system lies in its ability to provide compelling justification for the decisions or conclusions that it provides.
- Any theory that logically implies or any system that reconstructs or generates what has in fact been observed. the theory or system used in this process constitutes the explanans or the premises of the explanation. the thing to be explained is the explanadum or conclusion of the explanation. explanation establishes a formal construct on top of existing data, whereas prediction goes beyond them (->generative, ->reconstructibility).
Topgallant, английский
- The mast or sails above the tops. (see topgallant mast and topgallant sail.)
- [1] a square-sail mounted above the topsail to form the third sail above the deck. [2] the mast, yard, sail, and rigging mounted above and attached to the topmast, but forming a separate unit. pronounced “t’gallant.”

Dress ship, английский
To decorate a vessel with national flags at each masthead and on the flagstaff. when a rainbow of signal flags strung is from the bow, across all mastheads, to the stern, it is known as “full dress.” usn ships never dress while underway, but some other navies do, including the rn. the term is derived from the french dresser meaning to put up or erect, but the marine de guerre (french navy) calls it grand pavoisn, meaning great flag display. with random order, there is always the danger of inadvertently inserting readable text or (sailors being sailors) of the yeoman deliberately sneaking in a crude message. to avoid this most yacht clubs and navies specify a standard sequence. both rn and usn use nato flags for their dressing lines.
