Saved by the bell
editXsmasher is right, but it's a popular misconception. "Saved by the bell" was not a phrase that originated from this time. Rather it was taken from the boxing scene. I think this should be addressed so as to avoid incorrect additions in the future. - Mgm|(talk) 05:36, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
To add to this the citation for claiming that "Saved by the bell" had a safety coffin etymology actually does the exact opposite and is a very well written snopes article debunking a large number of similar claims — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:A433:3D00:1959:35FA:9E67:4927 (talk) 22:37, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
- OK, so if they were not the expressions used what were the expressions used in those times? What was the name of the guy that listened for the bells? What did they say when they were saved and so on? These really do sound like something someone would say back then even know it wasn't written down. This seems like a strange practice today but what do we do now a days? Using embalming Fluid fluid and burn the body to make sure they are dead? I know TWO people that woke up after they were pronounced dead by the doctors and left in the hospital morgue in a bag.
