slipstring

Every promise that thou therein dost utter, / Is as sure as it were sealed with butter, / Or a mouse tyed with a threed. Every good thing / Thou lettest even slip, like a waghalter slipstring.

1546, John Heywood, chapter VII, in Julian Sharman, editor, The Proverbs of John Heywood, London: George Bell and Sons, published 1874, pages 147–148:

Goinfre: m. A wag, ſlipſtring, knaviſh lad; a merrie conceited whoreſonne, a notable good fellow, an excellent companion.

1611, Randle Cotgrave, A Dictionarie of the French and English Tongues, page GOI-GON:

Well, slip-string, I shall meet with you.

1619, Francis Beaumont, John Fletcher, A King and No King, act 2, scene 2; republished in The Works of Beaumont & Fletcher, volume 2, London: Edward Moxon, 1843, page 270:

(obsolete) A wastefully extravagant person; a prodigal; a spendthrift.


save-all

Casting my fortunes at Mrs. Thompson's, I soon became initiated into the etiquette and usage of that polite caravansary; and I now write of that era of two-pronged forks, and when “saveall” was the choicest dish, and the observances at the table not altogether Chesterfieldian.

1891, George Washington Cullum, Edward Singleton Holden, Charles Braden, Biographical Register of the Officers and Graduates of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., page 617:

All of the fixtures are set on full-size marble slabs, having a ½-inch countersink for a save-all, with a 3-inch brass rose, screw-top strainer, connected to a 1¼-inch galvanized-iron waste pipe with a good incline and entering its 2-inch sectional save-all waste pipes R, Fig. 18, by a 45-degree connection.

1896, Engineering Record, Building Record, Sanitary Engineer, American Plumbing Practice, page 107:

(now rare) Something that prevents waste or loss.

The remainder of the furniture consisted of a flat-candlestick, with a saveall; but, for snuffers, Bronze used her scissors, or indeed, upon most occasions, her fingers.

1828, JT Smith, Nollekens and His Times, Century Hutchinson, published 1986, page 232:

Fourthly, an ornamental candle-fastener. This invention is intended to combine a metallic or other ornament for the candle, acting as a fastener for the candle, with a save-all, by which the objectionable necessity of fastening the candle with paper is done away with.

1848, Repertory of patent inventions and other discoveries and improvements in arts, manufactures and agriculture, page 178:

An improved “save-all suitable to all kinds of candlesticks, candle or reading lamps, or chandeliers burning wax, composition, or other candles.

1873, Arthur Charles Henderson, “No. 2253”, in Chronological and Descriptive Index of Patents Applied for and Patents Granted, Containing the Abridgements of Provisional and Complete Specifications, page 499:

(now chiefly historical) A device in a candlestick to hold the ends of candles, so they can be burned all the way down.

At the end of the "save-all", where the fibers are to leave the "wire" for the next stage of their journey, suction-boxes are placed, provided with an air-pump to take up the surplus water that has not yet found its way through the meshes.

1901, Frank O. Butler, The Story of Paper-making:

In designing any save all system one of the cardinal principles is to send no material to the save-all which can be reclaimed in any other waya, and this applies particularly to the gravity variety.

1907 April 5, John Hunt, “Reclaiming Waste Material”, in The World's Paper Trade Review, volume 47, number 14, page 8:

A large amount of backwater passing to the save-all will have the effect of keeping its contents in constant motion, and the currents thus set up will seriously impede its action.

1907 April 15, Paper Makers Monthly Journal, volume 45, number 4, page 128:

A trough to prevent waste in a paper-making machine.

Save-all sails I believe are commonly laced on to the foot of other sails, in light weather—she had something of this description under her lower studding sails.

1835, John Jeremie, Recent events at Mauritius, page 83:

Sloops, cutters, smacks, hoys &c. have a main-sail abaft the mast, as the brigs; upon and before the mast they have a square sail, or cross-jack; and, above the cross-jack, a small sail, called a save-all top-sail; above that is a top-sail, called a swallow-tailed top-sail, and the next is the top-gallant-sail.

1843, The Art of Sail-Making as practised in the Royal Navy, page 12:

There are a few other sails, such as a gaff-topsail, which sets over the spanker; a ring-tail, which sets abaft the spanker; a save-all, under the lower studding-sail boom, and a jib-topsail, which sets flying over the job. These are never met with now in the service.

1863, Stephen Bleecker Luce, Seamanship, page 463:

(nautical, now historical) A small sail sometimes set under the foot of another sail, to catch the wind that would pass under it.

en-noun

From huff + cap. The ale is called this "because it induced people to set their caps in a bold huffing fashion."

To quench the scorching heat of our parched throtes, with the best nippitatum in this toun, which is commonly called huffcap, it will make a man look as though he had seen the devil, and quickly move him to call his own father whoreson.

1576, Ulpian Fulwell, Ars adulandi, or, The Art of Flattery:

Then, when the Nippitatum, this Huf-cap (as they call it) and this nectar of lyfe, is ſet abroche, wel is he that can get the ſooneſt to it, and ſpend the moſt at it; for he that fitteth the cloſeſt to it, and ſpends the moſte at it, he is counted the godlieſt man of all the reſt; but who either cannot, for pinching pouertie, or otherwiſe, wil not ſtick to it, he is counted one deſtitute bothe of vertue and godlynes.

सर्वपरिग्रहभोगत्यागः कस्य सुखं न करोति विरागः ॥
suramandiratarumūlanivāsaḥ śayyā bhūtalam ajinaṃ vāsaḥ.

Whose residence is in a temple or at the foot of a tree, whose bed is the earth's surface, whose clothes are deerskin, who has given up all possessions and enjoyments; how may detachment fail to make him content.

sarvaparigrahabhogatyāgaḥ kasya sukhaṃ na karoti virāgaḥ.
