Meaning: Disregarding someone. treat somebody with coldness and contempt; ignore somebody. What is the mythology of Give the Cold Shoulder? What is the origin of Give the Cold Shoulder? Origin of Give the Cold Shoulder: This phrase stems from a particular way food was served to an unwanted guest in medieval England. At the time is was customary to serve a hot meal or roast that was fresh out of the oven. So, the act of serving an inferior cut of meat, such as a cold shoulder of mutton to the guest was a direct and subtle way to communicate that they had overstayed their welcome and should leave. As the above implies, the story you’ve heard about “give the cold shoulder to” (meaning “to show indifference or disdain to”) is nonsense, and the phrase has nothing to do with cold and inferior cuts of meat being used to rid the house of tiresome guests. It first appeared in print in 1816 (quite a bit after Shakespeare’s day, by the way) in Sir Walter Scott’s novel The Antiquary. Scott uses the phrase twice: “The Countess’s dislike didna gang (didn’t go) farther at first than just showing o’ the cauld shouther” and, later on, “I must tip him the cold shoulder, or he will be pestering me eternally.” Both instances clearly refer to snubbing someone by turning one’s back, showing them your shoulder as you turn away in a display of emotional “coldness.” Within a few years of Scott’s publication of The Antiquary, “cold shoulder” was turning up in novels by Thackeray and Dickens, and soon became a popular English idiom. The fact that “shoulder of mutton” was a real dish led to numerous literary puns tying the meat to the gesture (“The cold shoulder is not a palatable dish,” London Illustrated News, 1884). As a writer’s quip, that’s mildly funny. As information dispensed to trusting tourists, it’s just plain annoying. What are the Uses of Give the Cold Shoulder? Example of Give the Cold Shoulder 1.
