Everthing but...

the kitchen sink.

~

to take all your clutter if needed or not....

The phrase originated around the early 1900s and the first print reference can be found in 1918 in the newspaper The Syracuse Herald. The expression became popular during World War II, where it was said that everything but the kitchen sink was thrown at the enemy. This lead to the erroneous belief that the phrase originated during WWII. Another variant of the phrase, “everything but the kitchen stove” predates this phrase and can be found in 1894 in the Jeffersonville National Democraft. The current phrase probably evolved this earlier phrase.

another metaphor for me, as we take everything with us, from inherited bias to fear of change.. incase we have to give up something so some one else can survive.. another possible quote could be:

“carry the weight of the world on one's shoulders” is to feel much pressure because one has great responsibilities.
