Atrophy of the shoulder muscles. But in this case the nickname of the demon barber of fleet street London, over Mrs Miggins pie shop. A little off the top, sir?

A Sweeny is a gullible and naive person likely to belive lies. The phrase "Tell it to Sweeny" means: Tell it to someone who'll believe it. The phrase "Tell it to the Marines"has the same meaning.

Sweeney is a name used on Irishmen.
