I like trivia. I like to learn why sayings or expressions come into existance.

"Ruffled my feathers"

"Don't throw the baby out with the bath water." THis one has a long explanation. Back in the 16th century baths were taken in a big tub. Once a year the man of the house had first dibs at the bath, then the other men-folk, then the lady of the house, followed by the children and last but not least, the baby. By that time the water was quite dirty so, the baby evidently did get thrown out with the bath water occasionally.

Why weddings are held in June. Another long explanation. After the long winter and bath, the young people would go courtin' and fall in love. Wedding set in June when body smells hadn't ripened much. But the young bride would carry a bouquet of flowers to mask his aroma. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
