Back in '85, a question on my Master's licence exam asked, "How much is a shot of chain?" Without knowing whether it was name brand or from the bar's rail, I had no idea what the price was.SHOT--a length of chain rode 15 fathoms in length.
LEAGUE--distance a man walking briskly can cover in 1 hour (in English-speaking countries it is taken to mean just under 4 statute miles).
