– The expression “The back to the fire and the belly to the table”: Comfortably installed for a meal (usually copious) – By taking his ease
Here is an expression fallen into disuse, the meaning of which varies a little according to the dates and authors, but with a nonetheless constant image of comfort and pleasure. Indeed, to be seated near the hearth, the back heated by the fire which consumes the logs already indicates a comfortable situation. If you add your stomach to the table that you suppose to be covered with food, what more could you ask for to fully enjoy the moment?
This expression seems to date from the sixteenth century, and we find more or less varied meanings over time or works.
– The expression “to have a soft stomach”: the vulnerable point of someone, of an organization, of something.
Since the beginning of the XNUMXth century, belly also designates courage, energy, will (hence the expressions have something in your stomach et he has nothing in his stomach). by extension, the softness of this belly, image of something flabby, makes one think, on the contrary, of something without energy, without resistance.
the expression appears in English on November 25, 1942 under the pen of Winston Churchill (1874-1965) in a note to his war cabinet recommending to strike "the lower belly of the Axis" ("the underbelly of the Axis ", that is to say Italy and the Balkans. In writing this, Churchill is only taking up a hunting term, since the lower abdomen is for most mammals a vulnerable point. And as a good politician, he will not hesitate to repeat his formula to which he will add the term soft (“soft”).
