under the table. An odd New York character named George Washington “Chuck” Connors, the so-called Bowery Philoso- pher from the late 1890s into the early years of the 20th century, is said to have coined the expression under the table for dead drunk. He is also thought to be responsible for the catchphrases oh, forget it and the real thing. For another use of under the table see aboveboard. |
