Rope yarn, английский
- 1. a period, traditionally on wednesday afternoons, when a tailor boarded a sailing warship while the vessel was in port; the crew was excused from most duties and had light duty mending uniforms and hammocks and darning socks. when the ship was at sea, the crew similarly was excused from most duties on wednesday afternoons to engage in mending chores. wednesday afternoons, like sundays, thus were a more social time which allowed crewmen a rest from their normal duties, similar to a sunday, and, because the crew used rope yarn for mending, wednesday afternoon became known as rope yarn sunday.
