"Mad as a Hatter."
The term Mad As A Hatter started back in the late 18th century. It seems that the makers of felt hats would use quite the large amount of mercury. After many years of making hats and coming into contact with the poisons of mercury the hat makers would often times become sick with a violent and uncontrollable twitching of their muscles. They would then be named by others to be "Mad As A Hatter" |

"You ARE what you EAT" 
The term "You Are What You Eat" was coined by Victor Lindlahr in the 1920's. Lindlahr was a nutritionist who developed the catabolic diet; a diet that is based on the belief that there are some foods that make negative calories and therefore the more you eat of those certain foods the more calories you burn. He believed that 90% of the diseases known to man were cause by cheap foodstuffs, all the additives etc... He used the term in his the title of his book "You are what you eat" in 1942. |

"Now Just keep your shirt on.."
To Keep One's Shirt On came around in the 1800's when men were known to actually take their shirts off so they could fight. The reason they would take their shirts off to fight was because the shirts were stiff and they hampered their ability to fight properly with the full use of both of their arms. Now when it seems as if a argument is beginning to get real heated people say " just keep your shirt on" . |
