Some origins are debated, so &#8211; as always &#8211; take them with a pinch of salt!<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"441\" data-end=\"467\">Clean Bill of Health<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"468\" data-end=\"690\">This phrase comes from an official document once issued to ships leaving port, certifying that no infection or epidemic was present at the time of departure. Today, a <em data-start=\"635\" data-end=\"657\">clean bill of health<\/em> means someone is fit and well.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"692\" data-end=\"721\">Batten Down the Hatches<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"722\" data-end=\"987\">To <em data-start=\"725\" data-end=\"750\">batten down the hatches<\/em> is to prepare for trouble. On sailing ships, deck openings called hatches were usually open or covered with wooden gratings for ventilation. When storms threatened, they were sealed with tarpaulin secured by wooden strips, or battens.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"989\" data-end=\"1007\">Toe the Line<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1008\" data-end=\"1266\">Meaning to behave or conform, this comes from sailors standing for inspection. The seams between planks on a ship\u2019s deck formed clear lines. Crews were ordered to stand in formation with their toes just touching a chosen seam &#8211; literally <em data-start=\"1246\" data-end=\"1263\">toeing the line<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1268\" data-end=\"1283\">Boot Camp<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1502\">Now a term for tough military-style training, <em data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1341\">boot camp<\/em> began in the Spanish-American War. Navy and Marine recruits wore leggings called boots, and training facilities for these recruits became known as boot camps.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1504\" data-end=\"1549\">Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1550\" data-end=\"1828\">This saying means facing two equally unpleasant choices. The <em data-start=\"1611\" data-end=\"1618\">devil<\/em> was the longest seam on a wooden ship, running from bow to stern along the outer hull. Caulking it required a sailor to hang over the side of the vessel, suspended precariously between the devil and the sea.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1830\" data-end=\"1845\">Footloose<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1846\" data-end=\"2088\">To be <em data-start=\"1852\" data-end=\"1863\">footloose<\/em> is to be free of ties or commitments. The <em data-start=\"1906\" data-end=\"1912\">foot<\/em> of a sail is its lower edge, which must be secured to the boom to control it. If not attached, the sail was said to be <em data-start=\"2032\" data-end=\"2043\">footloose<\/em> &#8211; free to flap uncontrollably in the wind.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1846\" data-end=\"2088\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"9493\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.lovesail.com\/ls-news\/sailing-word-search\/new-logo-2025-main\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lovesail.com\/ls-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/new-logo-2025-Main.jpg?fit=300%2C70&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"300,70\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"new logo 2025 Main\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lovesail.com\/ls-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/new-logo-2025-Main.jpg?fit=300%2C70&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9493\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lovesail.com\/ls-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/new-logo-2025-Main.jpg?resize=300%2C70&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"lovesail\" width=\"300\" height=\"70\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2097\" data-end=\"2249\">\u2693 Love sailing language and lore?
