This expression was born at the end of the XNUMXth century.
We can think that the one who remains in a carafe, abandoned, is found like a jug, like a fool, the meaning having then slipped from one pot-bellied container to another.
But you should also know that in slang, appeared a little before our locution, the word carafe designated the mouth, the latter being a container also intended to contain - even if it is very temporarily - various liquids.
However, the first meaning of the expression applied to the speaker, who could no longer find his words, remained speechless.
And it is then, by extension, that we would have passed from the speaker who remains in the background to any person in the same state, then to the one who is abandoned, forgotten.
The meaning of "failure" appeared alongside the first meaning. Could it be because the vehicle is abandoned on the side of the road?
