[QUOTE="TnWatchdog, post: 57254, member: 3077"] [COLOR=#ff6600]Here is an interesting phrase used today. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff6600]Three Sheets To The Wind...[/COLOR] A person who is intoxicated and out of control is often said to be three sheets to the wind. Aboard ships, sheets have attached lines of rope used to control the tension and position of the sails. On square-rigged ships, each sail has its own set of sheets so the sails can be controlled independent of each other. Sometimes the wind pulled the sheets out of a sailor's hands and the sails flapped. This was bad enough, but if three sets of sheets were loose, the situation was out of control. [/QUOTE]
