Definitions

an action requiring a huge burst of activity is called an all hands action. Thus a mailing to be stuffed in envelopes and mailed, a huge doorbell ringing campaign to get individual purposes, a big drive to persuade civic groups by individual calls-all these are all hands actions. (HCO PL 3 Dec 68)
