All old fangled sayings that are allegedly from people being buried alive.

 

The turks however seem to have a modern day solution.

 

Turkish mortuary

 

 

 

What other sayings are you aware of that come from years ago?

 

 

Daylight robbery:

 

Taxes used to be put on people dependent on how many windows a property contained. People realised that they could get a reduction in tax by bricking up their windows and robbing the taxman. (Modern day equivalent is going in the papers to say you live in a shithole)

The dimwits also made their houses darker due to having less light coming in due to bricked up windows.

 

Hence the term Daylight robbery.
