Thank everybody

sorry for not getting back to my post before.
Actually I got this phrase from a poem by Philip Larkin in which he says:

Down the lane came men in pitboots
Coughing oath-edged talk and pipe-smoke,
Shouldering off the freshened silence.

Thanks a lot Melicia for your informative answer

My apologies again
