    I assure you, even at that tender age, I had a much more descriptive name for the thing.

    Well as I recall it was? Under below but just hearing the word Under was enough to get one mobile.
    That's the way the mop flops.

    You are right RLT. It is a shout that I used while steel erecting and rigging during my working life. Like life at sea could not stand doing either the sea or rigging with all the BS that goes with either trade.
    That's the way the mop flops.

    My thanks to Brian for this site.
