splice the main brace

In the English Navy grog was 1/4 rum and 3/4 water. When the sailors would bring in the main sails, it was such a tough job that they would be rewarded with a 'double' which was 1/2 rum and 1/2 water. This is now a way to say 'have a double.'

You did a great job, splice the main brace.

skin tax

The additional price you pay when negotiating on the streets of a country, when you are not from that country

The locals pay $1 for the hat and the skin tax is $3, so they charged me $4.
