Take it with a pinch of salt
Posted by Leigh on June 10, 2003
I've always thought this meant don't take what someones saying to be 100% fact. eg I take everything john says with a pinch of salt.
I thought it came from flavorings, things are easier to swallow when flavored, this doesnt seem to relate to the meaning.
Can any one clear this up for me, please
