[1] Sling: http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-sli1.htm I reckon it's either nautical, sailors putting hammocks up, by slinging between two hooks [as get below decks & out of sight. Or Dockers, when they finished/left a job would hang up their hoks for shifting sacks etc. [2]: Guts: http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-hav1.htm
