"Spill the beans"

Foto del escritor: place4webplace4web

ikely comes from an ancient Greek voting method where beans were used to cast votes. A jar was filled with beans: white for yes, black for no. Spilling the jar inadvertently would reveal the vote prematurely, hence "spilling the beans" now means to reveal a secret or disclose information accidentally. It's a vivid reminder of how language evolves, connecting us with the past in unexpected ways.
