Mike Rowe touched on this in his series of "How Booze Built America". Excellent 3 part series!

My favorite: "He et a pudding bag" d;^)

Nice list, I notice only a few of those are still used.
One that's not there is: "three sheets to the wind", but we do see:

  1. "He's right before the Wind with all his Studding Sails out."

  2. "He carries too much Sail."

  3. "He’s got his Top Gallant Sails out."

  4. "Lost his Rudder"

And we can note too, no insults about drunken sailors.
Those were different times!

Ben Franklin has to be the most all-around fascinating character in our early history.
