OLD SAYING Lessson
bLue-bLOOd
This means aristo- cratic. For centuries the Arabs occupied Spain but they were gradually forced out during the Middle Ages. The upper class in Spain had paler skin than most of the population as their ancestors had not inter-married with the Arabs. As they had pale skin the 'blue' blood running through their veins was more visible. (Of course all blood is red but it sometimes looks blue when run- ning through veins). So blue-blooded came to mean upper class.
bORn WITH a SILVeR SPOOn In yOuR mOuTH
Once when a child was christened it was traditional for the godparents to give a silver spoon as a gift (if they could afford it!). However a child born in a rich family did not have to wait. He or she had it all from the start. They were 'born with a sil- ver spoon in their mouth'.
a bROken Reed
This phrase is from Isaiah 36: 6. When the Assyrians laid
siege to Jerusalem one of them stood outside the walls and asked if they hoped for help from Egypt. He described Egypt as a 'broken reed'
THe bLInd LeadIng THe bLInd
In Matthew 15:14 Jesus criticized the Pharisees, the reli- gious authorities of his day, saying 'they are blind leaders of the blind'.
cuT and Run
In an emergency rather than haul up an anchor the sailors would cut the anchor cable then run with the wind.
eaRmaRked
This comes from the days when livestock had their ears marked so their owner could be easily identified.
eaT dRInk and be meRRy
This old saying is from Ecclesiastes 8:15 'a man has no better thing under the sun than to eat and to drink and be merry'.
gO THe exTRa mILe
By law a Roman sol- dier could force any- body to carry his equipment 1 mile. In Matthew 5:41 Jesus told his followers 'if somebody forces you togo1milego2 miles with him'.
gOLLy, gOSH
