ORIGIN

Shipshape refers to making sure that everything on a ship is secured to prevent objects from flying around in heavy weather. A related phrase, which is used primarily in the UK, is "shipshape and Bristol fashion."

There is good reason to believe that "Bristol fashion" refers to Bristol, England, an important English seaport for more than a thousand years. Ships anchored at Bristol were stranded on the mud at low tide. Since they were beached twice a day, they had to be of robust construction to avoid damage. Cargo also had to be securely stowed to prevent it being ruined by the severe movement when a ship was repeatedly beached and then set afloat with the cycle of the tides, thus making sure they were "shipshape and Bristol fashion."

See if you can say this quickly:

"What did the sailor say to the captain?
Sure, the ship's in shipshape shape sir!"
