Little Known Fact about a few expressions we use:


One Fell Swoop - means 'all at once.' It has nothing to do with falling. Fell comes from the old English word ‘fel’ which means cruel, deadly or ruthless...and is also the root of the word felon. The expression “one fell swoop; first appeared in Macbeth, when Shakespeare compares the sudden death of a character to an eagle swooping down on some chickens and carrying them off.

If You Can Do It, I’ll Eat My Hat! - means 'I don’t believe you can do it.' The original word hat in this expression was ‘hatte’ which is actually an Old English dish of eggs, veal, dates and salt. Over time the meaning of the phrase evolved into the ridiculous proposition it sounds like.
