OLD SAYING
Lessson
To BooT
If you get something to boot it means you get it extra. However it has nothing to do with boots you wear on your feet. It is a corruption of the old word bot, which meant profit or advantage.
cHock-a-BLock
When pulleys or blocks on sailing ship were pulled so tightly together that they could not be moved any closer together they were said to be chock-a-block.
don'T Look a gIFT Horse In THe mouTH This old saying means don't examine a gift too closely! You can tell a horse’s age by looking at its teeth, which is why people 'looked a horse in the mouth'.
dyed In THe WooL
Wool that was dyed before it was woven kept its color better than wool dyed after weaving of 'dyed in the piece'.
gILd THe LILy
This phrase is from King John by William Shakespeare. 'To gild refined gold, to paint the lily is wasteful and ridicu-
lous excess'.
HIdIng your LIgHT under a BusHeL A bushel was a container
for measuring grain. In Matthew 15:15 Jesus said 'Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel but on a candlestick'.
By Hook or By crook
This old saying probably comes from a Medieval law which stated that peasants could use branches of trees for fire wood if they could reach them with their shep- herds crook or their bill- hook.
kIck THe BuckeT
When slaughtering a pig you tied its back legs to a wooden beam (in French buquet). As the animal died it kicked the buquet.
knoW THe roPes
On a sailing ship it was essential to know the ropes.
knuckLe under
Once knuckle meant any joint, including the knee. To knuckle under meant to kneel in submission.
LIck InTo sHaPe
In the Middle Ages peo- ple thought that bear cubs were born shape- less and their mother lit- erally licked them into shape.
maudLIn
This is a corruption of Magdalene. Mary Magdalene was a prosti- tute who became a fol- lower of Jesus. In paint- ings she was often shown weeping tears of repentance. So she became associated with sentimentality.
mooT PoInT
This comes from the Saxon word moot or mote, which meant a meeting to discuss things. A moot point was one that needed to be discussed or debated.
PasTures neW
In 1637 John Milton wrote a poem called Lycidas, which includes the words 'Tomorrow to fresh woods and pas- tures new'.
Pay on THe naIL
In the Middle Ages 'nails' were flat-topped columns in markets. When a buyer and a seller agreed a deal money was placed on the nail for all to see.
PIn money
In the 16th and 17th cen- tury it was common to give your wife or daugh- ter a small amount of money for pins and other necessary things.
