Press into service
Meaning
Induce someone to join the military.
Origin
In the UK in the 18th and 19th century hapless youths were often tricked or forced into joining the navy by 'press gangs'. They usually got the victim drunk first. A favourite trick was to slip a coin into their beer mug. Once they had 'accepted the King's shilling' they were deemed to have enlisted. A less subtle trick was just to knock them unconscious and put them onto a ship - when they woke up they were on the high seas.

Serve or service
Every point begins with a serve. From a position behind the baseline, the server has to hit the ball diagonally over the net into the opponent's service court. Players get two attempts to serve the ball correctly in each point. In the first point of any game or set, the serve is played from the right-hand side of the court. After this the server alternates side (from right to left and vice-versa) at the start of every new point.
