When done on the ankles they are to prevent a sailor from drowning. These animals were originally carried on most ships in wooden crates. When a ship went down the crates would float and then catch currents and wash ashore with the other debris from the ship, making the pigs and roosters often the only souls to survive a shipwreck. When a sailor has a tattoo of a pig on the left knee, it was a symbol for safety at sea. A tattoo of a rooster on the right foot means that the sailor never loses a fight. These tattoos were also symbols of prosperity, as they were meant to ensure that sailors would always have ham and eggs, and never go hungry.
 To kill by drowning. (Literally, to throw into the Pecos River.)
A historical form of punishment meted out to sailors at sea. The sailor was tied to a line that was looped beneath the vessel. Then he was thrown overboard on one side of the ship and dragged under the ship's keel. Depending on the severity of the crime, the keelhauling could be done from either one side of the ship to the other, or the length of the ship from bow to stern. If the offender was pulled quickly, keelhauling would typically result in serious injury caused by marine growth (barnacles) on the underside of the hull. If the victim was dragged slowly, his weight might lower him sufficiently to miss the barnacles, but this method would frequently result in drowning.
A 'standing on street corners drinking cider' type of person who goes looking for a fight every 2 minutes as he thinks he's well hard, where as in fact, he's a skinny, scummy little runt. All Meeshes should really be shot or drowned at birth. A Meesh will usually be found in South Wales.
Used in an argument, when one party has argued with such skill or volume that the other person is unable to respond. That first party would then announce to the other party that are clamped with an exclamation such as: "That's YOU clamped, mate," or: "Kerrr-LAMPED!!" Often used to silence the second party even when first party may not have necessarily won the argument, as the declaration of 'clamped'-ness would often cause any observers to also shout it at the second party, thus drowning out any possible protests against ill-followed paths of logic. In this way, 'clamped' was often an easy way out of an argument, especially if you were playing to a crowd.
