February 27, 2010 at 9:22 AMI just bin 'avin a google (it be legal in private), Barnacle Phil, an 'ere be what I found:
Dead Man's Chest is a tiny isle that forms part of the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean Sea. Local history and folklore claims that pirate Edward Teach, known as Blackbeard, punished a mutinous crew by marooning them on Dead Man's Chest, which has high cliffs and no water and is inhabited by pelicans and snakes. Each sailor was given a cutlass and a bottle of rum.
Teach's hope was that the pirates would kill each other, but when he returned after a month he found 15 men had survived. This would explain the verse: "Fifteen men on the dead man's chest. Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Shiver me timbers.

February 24, 2010 at 5:09 PMA word of caution to the uninitiated : "my old man" also refers to a certain appendage (when spoken of by the owner of said appendage )
Girls, if some chappie asks you if you would like to see his old man, this can be taken in any of three ways. ( and the context does not always clarify )

February 19, 2010 at 6:31 PMI can't access the lesson because I'm not a subscriber, so I don't know what kind of valve is being referred to. But there are lots of valves used in domestic plumbing and central-heating systems. eg. the fill valve in the flush tank of a toilet prevents flooding due to overflow.

February 28, 2010 at 3:01 PMOr a proof-reader, hehe. Hey, I gave you fair warning - my reply was within the 15 minute window for an edit.
Rest assured that it's not a phrase people use - it just sounds like a strong innuendo. Keep 'em coming ! :)
