INTERESTING ORIGINS
In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes.
When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the
bed firmer to sleep on.
Hence the phrase "goodnight, sleep tight".
It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago
that for a month
after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law
with all
the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar
was lunar based,
this period was called the honey month or what we know
today as
the honeymoon.
In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts.
So in old England,
when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them
to mind their own pints and quarts and settle down.
It's where we get the phrase "mind your
P's and Q's"
Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked
into the rim or handle of their ceramic cups.
When they needed a refill, they used the
whistle to get some attention.
"Wet your whistle" is the phrase inspired by
this practice.
In Scotland, a new game was invented.
It was entitled Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden...
and thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.
