Cat o` nine tails
| Глоссарий морских терминов (рангоут, такелаж, устройство судна) |
A short nine-tailed whip kept by the bosun`s mate to flog sailors (and soldiers in the army). when not in use, the cat was kept in a baize bag, this is a possible origin for the term "cat out of the bag," though livestock trade was more likely[11] where this phrase came from. "not enough room to swing a cat" also derives from this.
