Bring it to a halt – everyone has heard this phrase, but not everyone knows what exactly it means. Many people think that the phrase “To bring to the pen” is associated with a person leaving the room or leaving the house at all. However, the pen in this context acquires completely unusual colors. The
fact is that in the past, dough was not used for eating, food was carried in it as in containers. In order to carry food more easily, dough handles were created – they were often baked
. After long transportation of food, the handle became dirty. Accordingly, after consuming the contents of the dough, the handle was thrown away. Only beggars ate such bread. Therefore !”To bring to the handle” – means to slip into poverty.
