– The expression “to spit in the soup”: to criticize in a bad way what one derives an advantage from.
The soup is therefore what nourishes, more broadly figuratively, what allows us to live. It also symbolizes profit (notin found in: here the good soup! which means something like: “mine the benefits, the advantages”).
So, to spit on it or in it, with all the connotation of contempt that this action can have, is to show really little consideration for this essential food or for the advantages or benefits that can be drawn from it.
This metaphor has been used since the beginning of the XNUMXth century.
– The expression “dipped like a soup”: completely wet.
This expression comes from the XNUMXth century. If we try to understand it today, we might think that it means: “as wet as a soup can be”, which would seem absurd. But in reality the word Soupe formerly referred to the slice of bread that was dipped in the broth and which inevitably came out “soaked like soup”.
It is only over time that, by metonymy, the term soup has lost its original meaning to designate the broth or soup that we know.
