1759 Citation

[edit]

I think this may be an earlier use of the phrase but I'm not sure if the "rites" at the end of the quoted passage changes it or not:

  • Lua error in Module:quote at line 2956: Parameter 1 is required.

Usage notes: This phrase is dated in British usage but still current in other regions.

Then why is the label "Britain" added? --Backinstadiums (talk) 16:56, 16 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Because it was used in the UK but not the US (perhaps), that would explain it. Maybe change to "India, dated in UK"? Equinox 17:01, 16 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
