JeffB	Origins: What does 'Hal an Tow' mean? (90* d)	RE: What does 'Hal an Tow' mean?	21 Apr 08
As for "rumbelow" - from Walter Skeat's Dictionary of English Etymology (1882) Rum: called "rumbo" in Smollett ... this is short for the sailors' word "rumbowling", grog. Originally called "rumbullion" in Barbadoes, 1651; from Devonshire "rumbullion", uproar, rumpus. Founded on F "ramper".
