Nevada Duffy Cold Shoulder jacket $396 from Milly Sleeping, 157 Elgin Street Carlton. Tel: 9347 1333

Dear Michi, where does the expression ‘cold shoulder’ come from?

Freezing Deltoids, Fitzroy

Dear FD, the origin of this expression dates back to colonial times when visitors to a house who were welcome were given a hot meal – but those who weren’t were offered only a ‘cold shoulder’ of mutton. That’ll be ten bucks thanks.

Regards
