Forced Draught Job.
We always refered to Big girls as a Four Strap Job,meaning it would take a Four strap lifting spread to shift her. Maybe the original has been thru a Scouse mangle
One I remember hearing years ago,two men arguing and getting close to blows, an old AB stepped in saying 'Vast there,Ease to the stopper. Any Deckhands heard that one.
