词汇	all hands and the cook
词源	all hands and the cook. All hands and the cook on deck! was a cry probably first heard on New England whalers in the early 19th century when everyone aboard was called topside to cut in on a whale, work that had to be done quickly. Fishermen also used the expression, and still do, and it had currency among American cowboys to indicate a dangerous situation— when, for example, even the cook was needed to keep the herd under control.
