The phrase dead as a doornail"
originated in this way, In early days,
when door knockers were common. the
plate upon which the knocker struck
was sometimes called a nail. In the
course of years 1t was struck so often
that all life was supposed to be
knocked out Of it; therefore when it
became necessary to refer TO anything
hopelessly lifeless 1t was merely an
emphatic expression to say that 1t was
''as dead as a doornail."-Home Notes.
