British slang: to study hard on a subject; to cram before a test 2. Nautical slang: to take a coffee break, a snack or any moment of group repose during work hours Origin Grace Episcopal Church SINCE 1886 1545 FRANKLIN AVE., ASTORIA • 503-325-4691 Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church While the origin of this idiomatic phrase is unknown, the first record- ed use appears in 1860, in Britain, according to Merriam-Webster’s. An nerd 1897 novel by the imperi- alist British writer Rudyard Kipling acknowledges the nautical version of the term, as does the 1937 film adaptation of the novel produced by Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer. The phrase has been em- braced by fishing communi- ties and canneries through- out the English-speaking world, from Ugashik, Alaska, to Astoria, Oregon, to Gloucester, Massachu- setts. The term now lives on mostly through the idiom of Scouts Canada (the northern version of The Boy Scouts of America, though unas- sociated) as a phrase for a snack, and according to Oxford’s Dictionary of New Slang was first noted as such in 1970. “‘No reg’lar meals fer no one then. ’Mug-up when ye’re hungry, an’ sleep when ye can’t keep awake. Good job you wasn’t picked up a month later than you was, or we’d never ha’ had you dressed in shape fer the Old Virgin.’” —Rudyard Kipling, Cap- tains Courageous, Macmil- lan & Co.,1897 “Chilly? It’s a former cold storage, for crying out loud. Enjoy a coffee break, mug up, at Coffee Girl overlooking the water….” —Jon Broderick, “Visit the Hanthorn Cannery Museum,” Coast Weekend, Dec. 15, 2016 CW 320 1 st Avenue (across from the Seaside Convention Center) Easter Services: 8:00 & 10:00am.
