Graft

(See also BRIBERY, EXTORTION.)

feather one’s nest See EXPLOITATION.

line one’s pockets To profit, especially at the expense of others; to receive money or other favors through bribery, blackmail, or graft. This expression reputedly stems from the English tailor who, hoping to become the clothes designer for the famous fashion plate, Beau Brummel (1778-1840), sent him an ornate coat, the pockets of which were lined with money. Although Beau sent a letter of thanks and added that he especially admired the lining, it is not known whether the tailor received any more of his business.

a piece of the pie See ALLOCATION.

pork barrel Legislation providing federal funding for local projects designed to put congressmen in the good graces of their constituents. Thus, the pork barrel is, metaphorically speaking, the federal treasury viewed as a source of monies for “pet” local projects. The connection between this figurative, political sense of pork barrel and the literal keg is not clear, although it may derive from pork considered as fat, a slang term for excess wealth, riches. Use of this U.S. slang expression is restricted to politics and dates from the early part of this century.

The River and Harbor bill is the pork barrel par excellence, and the rivers and harbors are manipulated by Federal machinery and not by State machinery. (The New York Evening Post, May, 1916)

shoe one’s mule To embezzle; to misuse or steal money entrusted to one’s care and management. Some unscrupulous blacksmiths and grooms reputedly once engaged in the fraudulent practice of charging a horse (or mule) owner for shoeing the steed, and then either kept the money without performing the promised work, or used the money to buy shoes for their own animals.

He had the keeping and disposal of all the moneys, and yet shod not his mule at all. (Sorel’s Comical History of Francion, 1655)

A variation is shoe one’s horse.

graft

A tissue or organ, taken from another part of the body or from another donor person, and surgically implanted to make up a deficit or to replace a defective part. To be successfully retained, a graft must quickly establish an adequate blood supply and must be able to resist immunological rejection responses.

graft

the transfer of a small part of an organism to a relatively larger part where it is transplanted. This may take place from one part of an organism to another part (see AUTOGRAFT), or from one organism to another (see ISOGRAFT, HOMOGRAFT, HETEROGRAFT). Many embryological studies have involved grafting, and from a medical point of view, skin grafting, particularly after serious burns, is commonplace. Organ grafts such as heart transplants are now much more common, though rejection by an animal of the tissues of another is still a serious problem (see IMMUNE RESPONSE). In animals the graft comes from a ‘donor’ and is transferred to the recipient. In plants, grafts are used often in horticulture, where a scion, the plant to be cultivated, is attached onto a STOCK (1), the rooting portion.
