"Let the cat out of the bag" and "No room to swing a cat"

We know these two terms today in a different context, but we'll come to that later. First of all, we are dealing with both terms in the area of punishments, whether at sea or on land, but definitely with a military background. However, it can be said that they have been used in nautical language since the 1600s. But what exactly is meant by it, well when it was said let the cat out of the bag it meant that someone would be flogged.

Now not every warship was a space wonder and had a lot of space available and since all of the crew had to attend this event, the space was even tighter, and the " kitty cat " (not a cat in the true sense of the word but the cat o nine tails - the whip) we are talking about here was very long in the 17th century (later much shorter) and in order to swing it reasonably you needed space to hit the person to be punished reasonably. Hence the expression when it was too narrow - there wasn't enough room for the cat.

This expression is also used today when there is simply not enough space and it is quite crowded around you. When you say let the cat out of the bag, this is a colloquial expression that means to reveal previously hidden facts.

TW: flogging

This came up in A Good Man's Heart but I think it deserves to be a prompt:

A lot of ships in the Royal Navy (and probably other navies too I've just done less research) would keep both left- and right-handed boatswain's mates on hand so that the cat-o'-nine-tails would leave criss-crossing marks on the sailors' backs which hurt more than marks in only one direction.

Carroll was that left-handed boatswain but had it trained out of him once it stopped being convenient.

sorry i think that the weird grumpy old man hatred ppl on here hold towards wireless earbuds is insane. they're genuinely more convenient, they've been around long enough that you can get a refurbished pair for like $30, and the pair ive had has lasted me for 6 years atp. back when everyone was using wired earbuds everyone complained about how they'd break to pieces in less than a year. and they were more expensive. did we forget about this??

#phones phasing out aux plugs isn't like an anti consumer move its companies removing obselete solutions #its like complaining when charging cords for flip phones got standardized so you didnt have to lug around a cat o nine tails whip of cords
