Re grippos
The Chief Yeoman who props up the bar most nights in our RBL Club--Or does it prop him up- tells me that gripes is Old English - He should know being extremely Old English himself --and that it is pronounced grippez-- hence gropes and grippos --It means To take anything that's going.
"Up Homers" and "Feet under the table" are modern day equivalents and if the Chief is correct
Leg-over combined with Feet-under--was bliss
