The historical origin of common idioms

Idioms can be confusing for non - native English speakers . Often their literal meaning is unrelated to its actual meaning . Let us look at the historical origins of a couple !

? Turn a blind eye : The origin of the phrase 'to turn a blind eye' ? to ignore something that you know is wrong ? is over 200 years old . It all starts with a man named Horatio Nelson . Nelson was a British Naval officer wounded early in his career in the Royal Navy . He was blind in one eye as a result of his injuries .

The Battle of Copenhagen in 1801 was the first of two battles that pitted the British Navy against the naval forces of Denmark ? Norway . Nelson , a admiral , was second in command to the Admiral of the British Navy . In the days before - and cell phones , naval vessels communicated with each other through the use of various colored flags indicating courses of action .

At a particular point in the battle , the gun smoke was so thick from the cannons that it was quite difficult for the admiral to see the state of Nelson's forces . He could see three British ships that had run aground and , that Nelson's ship was perhaps damaged . According to 'The Articles of War' ? a sort of rule book for British naval officers ? " All ranks 'do their against the enemy in battle . A is not an option unless commanded to do so . "

When the Admiral's boat flagged for him to retreat , the one - eyed Nelson supposedly brought his telescope to his bad eye and proclaimed : " I really do not see the signal . " He went on to achieve victory in battle . The phrase 'turn a blind eye' to this day .

? Paint the town red : The expression 'to paint the town red' means to go out and enjoy yourself in the evening . It often lots of drinking and celebrating in a rowdy , wild manner , especially in a public place . The origin of the expression is not agreed upon . There are in fact as many explanations , as there are ways to paint the town red . The four most common are :

1 . The phrase is a metaphor referring to bonfires painting the sky or scenery red . An old Irish ballad contains the lines : " The beacon hills were painted red with many a fire that night . "
2 . According to Oscar Wilde , it's Dante , The Inferno : " We are they who painted the world scarlet with sins . " The 'we' in the passage refers to the souls entrapped in the pits of hell .
3 . 'To paint the nose red' was an old slang term for drinking . Some believe 'painting the town red' is a transformation of this older expression .
4 . The origin of 'painting the town red' comes from the drunken activities of fox hunters in the English countryside town of Melton Mowbray . After the traditional annual fox hunt , the drinking and celebrations ended with a few of the hunters taking red paint to the houses surrounding the town square .

Whichever explanation you prefer , maybe it will give you inspiration the next time you decide to turn a blind eye or paint the town red .
