Definition
Present participle of 'bowse': the action of drinking heavily or hauling rope in nautical operations.
Etymology
Adding the '-ing' suffix to 'bowse', creating both the continuous form of drinking and the technical nautical action simultaneously.
Kelly Says
Medieval sailors basically invented 'multitasking' with this word—'bowsing' could mean they're hauling rope while drinking, or just drinking while thinking about the rope work. Language shapes how we see work!
