    In Shakespeare's 
    time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. 
    When you pulled on the ropes, the mattress tightened, 
    making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the 
    phrase...'Goodnight , sleep tight'

    It was the accepted 
    practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the 
    wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with 
    all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because 
    their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the 
    honey month, which we know today as
    the honeymoon.

    In English pubs, ale 
    is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England , when 
    customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them 'Mind 
    your pints and quarts, and settle down.'

    It's where we get

    Many years ago in 
    England , pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or 
    handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill , 
    they used the whistle to get some service. 'Wet your whistle' 
    is the phrase inspired by this practice.
