Swinging the plumb bob

Swinging the lead - A person pretending to work (or claiming to be ill) when he is not. Pre-modern days, seamen would check the depth of water by dropping. a lead weight, attached to a thin marked rope, to the bottom of a. waterway. Some lazy sailors would take as long as possible about it.
