In reply to:Bristol fashion
There is a often little double entendre in the use of this phrase as bristol or bristols feature in Cockney rhyming slang (Bristol City).honi soit qui mal y pense!
Until I did a Google search for the origin of "shipshape and Bristol fashion", I had never heard the rhyming slang that you make reference to. I can assure you that the people I learned the phrase from used it without so much as a tendril of double entendre attached.
