Йо-хо-хо, и бутылка рому!

Культура Story: Йо-хо-хо, и бутылка рому!

В знаменитой песне из романа Стивенсона «Остров сокровищ» поётся: «Пятнадцать человек на сундук мертвеца. Йо-хо-хо, и бутылка рому!». Логично предположить, что «Йо-хо-хо» — это хохот пиратов, однако это не так.


Такой возглас использовался английскими моряками, когда им нужно было вместе одновременно приложить усилия в какой-нибудь работе — в русском языке ему соответствует фраза «Раз, два, взяли!».
