[Aunt Joyce]

This expression comes from the practice of admirals and officers having their own flags aboard ship, a peg attaching them to the mast. Superior officers would have their flags positioned higher on the mast than subordinates. If a senior officer handed over his command to a junior officer the senior officer’s flag would have to be flown in a subordinate position.
