[post_page_title]”Give a cold shoulder”[/post_page_title]
To give someone a cold shoulder is to be deliberately antisocial and unwelcoming towards them, much like the bluntness of the phrase’s origin. In medieval England, welcome visitors to a home were served a warm feast.
However, those who were unwanted were presented with a cold shoulder of either mutton, pork or beef, which was known to be tougher, inferior cut of meat. The host’s message was clear – it was time for the guest to leave.
