英语词汇put your foot in it的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

put your foot in it. The old proverb “The Bishop hath put his foot in it” led to the common expression, Now you’ve put your foot in it. Bishop is, of course, usually an honorific, but the orig- inal proverb, used when soup was scorched, may have arisen because of the reputation of a certain bishop or bishops for burning heretics. An alternate explanation is that the saying arose when an anonymous cook stood at the window watching a procession headed by a noted bishop and blamed him for the port soup she burned. Or it may simply have been suggested by someone stepping in cow flops.
