Sea Shanty TikTok has taken the UK by storm this week! But how well do you know your seafaring phrases?
Chock-a-block, high and dry and at a loose end all commonly used phrases in the English language – but most Brits have no idea they have maritime origins.
In fact, our poll of 2,000 people found that 95% of us have used a phrase with maritime origins in the past...but a whopping three-quarters had "no idea" that English is so heavily influenced by the sailors, pirates and naval ships of yesteryear.
