Listen "Throw the Baby out with the Bath Water"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we discuss another interesting idiom, which originated in the 1500s when water was scarce and people had to bathe in the same water in the same container leaving the babies with the dirtiest water. It forced the poor mothers to be extra careful not to throw the babies along with the dirty water.
