Today we are going to talk about the expression "Heads or Tails".

Heads or Tails Under the reign of Saint-Louis, there were still more than eighty private lords in the kingdom who had the right to coin money.

But it was only the king who had the right to mint gold or silver coins.

On one side of the royal coin there was a cross, and on the other side there were pillars, so for a long time the sides of coins were called cross or stack.

Subsequently, the French kings decided to feature their own face in place of the cross, and their arms and coin value on the other.

But the word tails remained for one side and tails for the other.

Hello everyone !

Today we're going to talk about the phrase "setting the table".

Daily expression that is familiar to us but incorrect.

We should say “put the table”, since our tables no longer travel around the house.

In the Middle Ages, rooms did not have very distinct functions as they do today, and the same room could serve as a common room, dining room and bedroom.

Also, more often than not, we "set the table" at mealtime, that is, we brought a large board and trestles.

Hence the use, among the lords, of beautiful tablecloths intended to hide the poverty of the furniture.

Today we are going to talk about the phrase "Make amends".

Meaning: apologize, admit that we were wrong.

In the Middle Ages, when few people knew how to write, any agreement was played on the word given, on the honor pledged, in short, reputation.

So whoever commits a crime, breaks his word to others, must restore his honor first and foremost by amending it.

Honorable fine, therefore, make sense to wash one's name by confessing the truth and asking forgiveness from all.

As an admitted fault was half forgiven, the honorable fine could be accompanied by public punishments to serve as examples.

With time washing one's honor became less fashionable and only the less honorable fine was retained, that is to say the one that is pecuniary.

Today we are going to talk about the expression "for intérieur".

In the Middle Ages, the word took on the technical meaning of jurisdiction and especially ecclesiastical jurisdiction (powers of the Church, in matters of justice, and their extent.)

A distinction was made between the « for intérieur » (the Church could sanction faults committed through confession and penances), and the « for extérieur » (all matters relating to religion, directly or indirectly, were judged by ecclesiastical courts).

The distinction gradually changed meaning over the centuries: internal forum being our conscience which judges us, the external forum, institutions, judges and courts.

Today we're going to talk about the phrase "spit in the soup".

We thus learn that blacksmiths used to leave a well-heated horseshoe in front of their shop, in order to laugh at the grimaces of the naive who tried to steal it.

The story's villain's son, Robin, who is in town with his father, doesn't let him fall into the trap, and spits on the horseshoe to check if it's cold. The saliva is immediately brought to a boil.

Back home, the villain is about to eat a good morterual, a kind of bread soup his wife has made.

He spits in the soup to see if it's too hot, but nothing happens.

He immediately puts a huge spoonful in the oven, and is scalded to the guts.

Hence the phrase "spit in the soup", which indicates overdone and, as here, unnecessary caution.

In the Middle Ages, it was said of someone who promised mountains and wonders, that he promised mountains and valleys (that is, valleys).

In the course of time, by a taste for repetition, typical of Old French, the image was forgotten and wonders took the place of valleys, thus reinforcing the meaning of the word mont, instead of completing it as previously.

The old French loved these pairs of words, similar sounds and meanings.

Curiously, many have come down to us: indeed, safe and sound, without faith or law, without fire or place, all fire all flame ...
