Any players of “Fallen London” by Fail Better Games will recognise this as the Renown Bohemians 10 Item: A Barrel With Leather Straps (giving +1 Scandal when worn). Useful in certain specific situations.
I know! It’s firkin humiliatin’, ain’t it!
It’s a mild punishment that pales in comparison to others, but that barrel did make them look stout.

Most people would jump through hoops to avoid being seen in public in a one-size-fits-ale, prêt-à-porter garment like that.
It would take a mild-mannered person indeed to endure the vulgar taunts and stave off the urge to give someone a puncheon the face.

That certainly chimes with me.
But don’t bung me any more of your bilge unless you want to be cooped up in a barrel too.

One of my uncles was so drunk on the subway once that they cut open his front pocket to steal his wallet.
A heluva town.
