RedCloud shivers quite often, but it only has one frequency of shivering, the shiver is always the same, just different durations and strength. Anyone elses boat shiver? Joe |

RedCloud shivers quite often, but it only has one frequency of shivering, the shiver is always the same, just different durations and strength. Anyone elses boat shiver? Shiver me timbers. You've heard it but I bet you don't know what it means. I'll educate you morons. From the archives: "I can tell you that timber is: 2a c : a curving frame branching outward from the keel of a ship and bending upward in a vertical direction that is usually composed of several pieces united. And...shiver is 2 : to tremble in the wind as it strikes first one and then the other side (of a sail) transitive senses : to cause (a sail) to shiver by steering close to the wind. (Merriam-Webster online). "Shiver me/my timber. I can't find any authority to agree, but I thought that this was another saying derived from sailing ships. It certainly seems firmly attached to pirates. I think the saying represents the shock of a large wave hitting a wooden ship broadside and causing the hull to shudder. In other words, it expresses shock or surprise. "Shiver My Timbers! ... (expletive denoting surprise or disbelief) Presumably, this expression alludes to a ship's striking a rock or shoal so hard that her timbers shiver. The expression was first seen in 1834 in the novel _Jacob Faithfully_ by Frederick Marryat. In 1881, Robert Louis Stevenson found it to be the perfect exclamation for the irascible Long John Silver: "So! Shiver me timbers, here's Jim Hawkins!" This stereotypical expletive became extremely popular with writers of sea yarns and Hollywood swashbucklers. From _When a Loose Cannon Flogs a Dead Horse There's the Devil to Pay: Seafaring Words in Everyday Speech_ (1996) by Olivia A. Isil " This explanation is also from ignorant morons. "Shiver me timbers" comes from what happens when an old wooden sailing ship of war, a frigate for example, takes a broadside from an enemy warship. The shot shivers the timbers. It's that simple. Why is it I, Wilbur Hubbard, seem to be the only one who knows anything in this sorry excuse for a news group? Anyway, Joe, you saying a ship "shivers" in rough seas is just a show of your ignorance or perhaps of your stupidity or maybe both. A ship might "shudder." It may "shake" or "heave" but it doesn't shiver. Wilbur Hubbard |

This ain't the 1830's and cannons don't thunder into my rigging. You need to get up to date on proper terms, I bet you're still using the term Larboard....right..for left? Did you hear about the new French Nuclear Aircraft carrier? "-- then even the ship's laundry washing machines caused problems. As originally bolted together - when used simultaneously - the vibrations were so powerful that the entire 40,000-ton ship shivered." Joe Joe |

Ship's laundry on a Frog ship? Bwahahahahahhahaha. Everybody knows the Frogs don't wash their clothes. They just keep dumping on powder and perfume to hide the stains and smell. Wilbur Hubbard |
