Where can i find the origin of common phrases like “cut corners” or “spill the beans”?
To ‘cut corners’ means to take the cheap/easy aproach and ‘spilling the beans’ means giving up (secret) information… but why? Where do phrases like these come from? Does anyone know of a site that explains origins of phrases like these?
