What is the origin of the idiom "catch some Z's" and when to use it?

The idiom "catch some Z's" is derived from the practice of representing sleep with the letter "Z" in comic strips and cartoons, dating back to the early 20th century. The letter "Z" resembles the visual representation of someone asleep, complete with the Z-shapes rising from their slumbering form. It is often employed to express the need for rest or relaxation, whether it's to combat tiredness, recover from a long day, or rejuvenate oneself.

It emerged as a way to advise or criticize someone who is overly focused on trivial matters, gossip, or the lives of others, often at the expense of their own personal growth or interests.

What is the origin of the idiom "on the rag" and when to use it?

The origin of the phrase "on the rag" is unclear, but it is believed to have emerged in the early 20th century as a derogatory slang term. The phrase likely originated from the association of menstruation with the use of cloth menstrual pads or rags before the widespread availability of modern sanitary products. It is considered a crude and disrespectful term that objectifies and diminishes women based on their menstrual cycle. The phrase is widely recognized as offensive and has no place in respectful or inclusive language. It is important to promote understanding, empathy, and respect when discussing topics related to menstruation.
