Check All Loose Pieces

Not sure the origins, but basically as noted, to test something to see if it will give way

Maybe also there is a nautical turn of phrase used to indicate a check for sea-worthiness..

If not, perhaps something like - check for leaks

I'm going with "look for leaks." I'll let you know how the kids like it.

Thanks Murchu.

Sounds like a golden rule for rock-climbers. Live ones anyway :0

No worries. Look for leaks is nice and simple, let us know how you get on, and if you unearth any other gems 🙂

As a Custodial Manager for Disney, this one made me laugh at multiple levels!

'The walking dead' is any piece en-prise, according to my grandson!

Therefore, why not call 'em Zombies?
