Today's Idiom
Take with a pinch of salt
Meaning: To accept something while maintaining a degree of scepticism.
Origin: First recorded in the English language back in 1647, this phrase stems from an ancient Roman belief. The idea was that food was more easily swallowed if taken with a small amount of salt. Pliny the Elder translated an ancient poison antidote with the words ‘be taken fasting, plus a grain of salt’. The Romans believed that adding a grain of salt would protect them from a lethal poisoning.
