Where did the saying three sheets to the wind come from? This video is going to cover a common saying that is based in naval slang. It has always surprised me just how many of our English sayings and euphemisms come from the age of sailing.

Information is derived from a number of historical sources including websites, historians, and literature. The fog of history is a real thing, even relatively recent events often have sources in disagreement or relying on one another. When possible information is derived from first-hand sources and where not possible information is found by taking multiple second-hand sources. It is not possible for anyone to guarantee perfect historical accuracy, but I do my absolute best to ensure that all information in my videos is well sourced and backed up by historical sources and evidence.
