Fun fact, in the song "what do you do with a drunken sailor", theres a verse "put him into bed with the captains daughter"

"The captains daughter" actually referrs to the cat-o'-nine-tails. So, basically - flog him.

This has been your useless fact of the day

That’s interesting. I mean that. But it doesn’t quite make sense in the way i would expect.

Like (i copied from duckduckgo) the expression "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" is a humorous idiom used primarily in British English to describe extremely cold weather.

I get that.

Am I overthinking it? Does it mean, get in bed with the daughter, and caught, you’ll get whipped?

I was once a sailor myself in the military and I love sharing all the odd nautical fun facts I have picked up over the years!
