Tight but Proper

I haven’t inflicted any American trivia on you for quite awhile, so here’s one for those super proper people.  Why are they called “straight laced”?  Because, in the olden days, corsets were part of a woman’s must-wear attire.  They laced up the front.  If you were dignified and proper, you laced your corset extra tight and endured the control and abuse to your body.

[Thank heavens those devices of torture went out of style!]
