| Cold feet & us |
| You’re transfixed to your seat. Tongue-tied and stiff-necked. You can’t move, think or blink. Check the temperature of the lower extremities of your body. Chances are that you’ve got cold feet. One of the explanations for the evolution of the expression has an Italian origin, where it was used to depict someone who frittered away his wealth and went broke. So if you developed “cold feet” in Italy, a well-wisher would probably offer you money, food or clothing. But there is no generally accepted cure for cold feet in the world. Perhaps shoe-warmers, perhaps thicker socks. Or perhaps courage — to take the bull by the horns.
