My Uncle Jack was known as the sweaty sock because he was always in The Boot (a local pub)

One man was a chargehand and would direct operations when maneuvering heavy loads with teams of men. When one man needed to let go of a rope he would point and shout "let that man go". He was known as "The Lenient Judge". That was his name, he was called that by everyone.
