I always heard three for the man who'll stand his round, but that might just have been the Clancy Brothers.

Mind you, I'm basing this solely on the John Barnes book.

"Ground" is a mondegreen; it's a drinking song.

Although, I think it's actually, "for the man who will stand his round."

As in...not collapse after his drink.

(I prefer Whiskey You're the Devil...We tend to say "The Yankee likes his hot black coffee" around here a lot...)

It really works both ways (well...otherwise, it wouldn't be confusing).

The "standing the next round of drinks" sounds like wishful thinking. lol

My opinion is based on the John Barnes novel, though.

I didn't know I knew this, until I read the comments. Obviously not something I remembered!

Which means I need to drink more. I'm OK with this :).
