Contact IdiomJar
We read every message. Corrections get read twice — being shown we're wrong is how the site stays worth reading, and we'd genuinely rather hear it from you than leave an error sitting there.
Found an error?
A wrong date, a misattributed quotation, a source we missed. Tell us which post and what's off — we'll check it and update, with a note about the change.

Before you write
Two things that might already answer your question. Our About page explains how we research and what our confidence labels mean — most "how do you know that?" questions are covered there. And How Idioms Are Born (and Die) lays out the whole method, including how you can check any origin story yourself in about five minutes.
If you're writing about advertising or a partnership: we're supported by ads, but we don't accept payment for editorial claims about a phrase's origin, as set out in our Disclaimer.
