At loggerheads
| Морской словарь |
To quarrel or be at strife with someone. there are two credible explanations of the origin of this term. [1] in the 15th and 16th centuries, a loggerhead was a big long-handled ladle used to pour boiling liquids onto a grappled enemy. when both sides were doing this, they were literally at loggerheads. [2] later, the loggerhead was a heavy iron ball mounted on an iron shaft, used to heat pitch for caulking. being readily available on deck, a couple of them could be seized as weapons in disputes between seamen, who thus found themselves at loggerheads. at rest!: usn command to adopt an informal stance. posture is relaxed, right foot remains in place, but body movement and quiet talking are permitted. (the equivalent rn command is “stand easy!”)
