Weird Al Says: WTF?!

| DateMonday, July 12, 2010 at 2:25AM | CommentPost a Comment | |

Personal hygiene left much room for improvement. As a result, many women and men had developed acne scars by adulthood. The women would spread bee's wax over their facial skin to smooth out their complexions. When they were speaking to each other, if a woman began to stare at another woman's face she was told, 'mind your own bee's wax.' Should the woman smile, the wax would crack, hence the term 'crack a smile'. In addition, when they sat too close to the fire, the wax would melt.
Hence the expression 'losing face.'

 

This has been a moment of ... WTF?!
