in the barrel
Language: English
Part of speech: prep_phrase
Etymology: Attested 1950s.
Presumably from a bawdy military joke, featuring a barrel with a glory hole, whose punchline is “It’s your turn in the barrel.”
The joke has many variants and embellishments, but the kernel is: a new sailor is being given a tour of the boat, and is shown a barrel with a glory hole, which they are able to use any time, except Tuesdays. When he asks why not Tuesdays, he is told: “Because it’s your turn in the barrel.”
Other hypotheses is that it is derived from like shooting fish in a barrel, or that it referred to a form of punishment in which the malefactor was confined within a barrel.
Senses: examples: text: It’s Your Turn In The Barrel: accident investigation duty
ref: 1967, Aerospace Safety, volume 23, number 2, page i:
