As a child Smiley was not allowed to wear Fruit Of The Loom underwear. His mother called them sacrilegious. When he later came across the phrase fruit of the womb he understood why, but thought that a bad pun was hardly worth God’s wrath.
He the started researching all his mother’s old sayings and found that almost all of them were wrong. He assumed it was through ignorance, but an appendix in an old slang encyclopedia described methods of variation. When decoded, his mother’s phrases painted a picture of a horrific childhood. Mostly pointing to her father as the culprit.
