Three Sheets to the Wind
Permalink  

To be “three sheets to the wind” is to be drunk. The sheet is the line that controls the sails on a ship. If the line is not secured, the sail flops in the wind, and the ship loses headway and control. If all three sheets are loose, the sail and ship are out of control.

You're welcome Suey!


Well, I had been curious for some time, and now I know. As there are some Potato People here at JDBB, I thought I would share my new found knowledge with them and other onlookers.

Royalty like us need to know these things.  How else would we keep the earth spinning and the sun rising and setting every day?
