Ok now go after “What in TARnation” As in the nation of Tartraria 1400’s world map status. Byzentine empire “May Day”, “May pole” (maple), “knight moves” all of it.
The word tarnation is derived from 'damnation'. Sometimes it wasn't polite to use a religious word so it was altered slightly. So people said 'What the heck' instead of 'What the Hell'. In England, people said gosh! or golly! instead of 'God'. But 'What the Dickens' has nothing to do with the writer Charles Dickens, instead Dickens was once a nickname for the Devil.
I don’t know about the origin of the phrase, but rope bedsteads under mattresses (with a tightening mechanism) were used commonly through at least the 1870’s in the American West. Examples can still be seen in the restored Cove Fort in Utah.
Nice. Straight and to the point with accompanying visuals. Well done.
Thank you
Interesting

The bed bugs were added a bit later!

@@TimLambert101 thank you
@@kittycat8222 You're welcome
I thought tight like loose or pissed or drunk.
I went back in time and found out it meant to tighten the ropes on a bed

@@hispeedbullet2661 Yes but that is not the origin of the phrase
I always thought it meant have several drinks before bed! JK- thanks for the video!
You're welcome
I thought it was because it rhymed with goodnight and bite.
Goodnight
Sleep tight
Don’t let the bedbugs bite.
Don't let the bed bugs bite was added later as a jokey rhyme
Many people do not know the definition of T.I.P.S., as in giving the taxicab driver additional money along with the fare.
Can you help them?
