shirtsleeves

Die woordeboekbetekenis van "hempmoue" is die deel van 'n hemp wat die arm van die skouer tot by die pols bedek. "Hempsmoue" kan egter ook verwys na die toestand van informeel of gemaklik geklee wees, sonder 'n baadjie of jas, soos wanneer iemand net 'n hemp met opgerolde moue dra. In hierdie sin word die frase "rol jou hempsmoue op" dikwels figuurlik gebruik om gereed te maak om te werk of 'n taak aan te pak.
