To Eat Ones Words.

A IL through the ages" remarked
wise and witty physician
"about as common a cause for indi-
gestion as any is incurring the neces-
sity to eat ones words!"
The reference here, of course, was
not literally to the process of masti-
cation and swallowing of documents
(although that has been done, too)
but rather to the idea of the idiom,
which is withdrawing or retracting
statements that were made under the
stress Of anger or other emotional
disturbance.
In this sense, humans have from
the beginning of time found it incum-
bent either through choice or compul-
sion to do the right thing in this way
However, the expression itself is
only a little over three-and-a-hal
centuries old. One of its earliest ap-
pearances is in the work, "Euphues
and His England" by Lyly, published
In 1880.

the mist that hung over the whole pic
