Surely those were "woolen britches" not wooden, above.

Jeffp: that's interesting about chuck meaning simply food. Thus, to vomit is "upchuck."

No doubt this helps explain why one of the most useful cuts of beef for ordinary folk is called beef chuck or chuck roast. I use it for lots of things: beef stew, pot roast, beef cooked in beer, spicy orange beef, Fancy French pot roast, lunch meat when sliced thin. No doubt this list could go on and on.

Now I think I'll try to find a MIDI for Brighton Camp.
