Skeletons in the house, dead bodies on display, scandalous secrets, and more!
Today we explore the fascinating history behind the idiom 'Skeletons in the Closet'.
Hold on to your seats as we uncover historical theories that range from family secrets to bone-chilling stories of literal skeletons found in the house. This journey takes us all the way back to 1800s England, as we grapple with how a simple saying could evolve into a metaphor for hidden secrets that could ruin one's reputation if revealed, and even spark a sexual revolution!
Join us for a laughter-filled deep dive into the secrets we all keep hidden!
