BEHIND THE WORD: 5'o clock shadow
A well kept secret is that the world is full of funny and silly people trying to hide their good own ridiculous humour just like you and me.With a resolution to lose weight ,we carefully plan our dinner and go with the plan but just after dinner we ride our fridge and eat all that in our mind and in the fridge.Everyone I know has the habit of eating in evening and night.
Some of the English people disliked the habit of eating during evening times.They called it 5’o clock tea or 5’o clock dinner.This phrase quickly got into peoples’mind.So Gem safety Razor Company in an intention to popularise their product used this catchy phrase '5'0 clock shadow' to refer to quick regrowing of beard in the evening after a morning shave.And thus a phrase has been added to the English language.
