    In George Washington's days, there were no cameras. One's image was either
    sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed him
    standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both
    legs and both arms. Prices charged by painters were not based on how many
    people were to be painted, but by how many limbs were to be painted. Arms
    and legs are "limbs" therefore painting them would cost the buyer more.
    Hence the expression "Okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg,"

    More 1700

    As incredible as it sounds, men and women took baths only twice a year!
    (May and October.) Women kept their hair covered, while men shaved their
    heads (because of lice and bugs) and wore wigs. Wealthy men could afford
    good wigs made from wool. The wigs couldn't be washed so to clean them, they
    would carve out a loaf of bread, put the wig in the shell and bake it for 30
    minutes. The heat would make the wig big and fluffy, hence the term "big
    wig." Today we often use the term "here comes the Big Wig" because someone
    appears to be or is powerful and wealthy.

    A clean desk is a sign of the truly laziness; someone who never wants to hunt for anything.
