Intoduction
Speaker 1Oh yeah, hello, podcast family. This is your unoriginal host, afton Jay, and I'm happy to be hanging out with you wherever you are today. Let's get into the intellectual journey we're about to go on together. As always, none of what we'll talk about today is my original thoughts, but I will attempt to repackage other people's original ideas and talk through them so we can learn and laugh together. I'm going to try to bring you the most interesting, useless knowledge in the most thought-provoking and entertaining way. I know how. Okay, let's do this.
What the Idioum?
Speaker 1Today's episode is Wearing your Heart, your heart, on your sleeve. What a personal topic. I feel like I'm a person who wears all of her emotions on her sleeve. However, we all know that being vulnerable and putting your emotions out there means that you are susceptible to getting your feelings hurt. So what do you do? Do you wear your heart on your sleeve or not? And why are we wearing our feelings and why aren't our sleeve? In this episode, we'll explore everything about this popular idiom, and more so, much more. So let's get vulnerable. Where does wearing your heart on your sleeve come from? It's time for our favorite game. What the Idiom? Let's start with our first unsuspecting friend. Do you know where the origin of where your heart on your sleeve comes from.
Speaker 4I would say that at some point in history some I don't know sensitive poetic group wore bands on their sleeves with hearts on them to identify themselves as sensitive souls.
Speaker 1You think there's like a band of squishy people running around.
Speaker 2A hundred percent. I would guess it's about other people. Everyone can always see your sleeve when you go somewhere about other people like everyone can always see your sleeve when you go somewhere, and so it's about people being able to see what your emotions are as soon as they see you. That's what I would guess where it came from.
Speaker 6I don't know, maybe it has to do with where I'm thinking is like back in the day when barbers were doing surgery, cutting people and doing surgery to what they thought was the cure for certain sicknesses. When I think, barbara, I think that's when it started in uh, todd Sweeney, like that stuff, but not that morbid, but kind of along that era of when that was happening it has nothing to do with Sweeney Todd, but it was a great guest.
Speaker 7So I'm going to wing it and I want to say it comes from medieval times when, fiance or whatever else, the maiden would give them a scarf or a token or whatever else and they would put it on their arm or put it in their armor and be a symbol of that.
Speaker 2Nailed it, good guess Yay.
Speaker 1There are several different types of idioms phrases, prose proverbs and saying. We'll talk about on this show the term where your heart on your sleeve is an idiom. Merriam-webster defines an idiom as an expression in the usage of a language that is particular to itself, having a meaning that cannot be derived from the conjoined meanings of its elements. Simply put, an idiom is a phrase used commonly in language or culture that means something differently than how it literally sounds. Examples up in the air, a bird in the hand as we're two in the bush, etc. Shameless plug. We'll be talking about these in future episodes, so tune in. We use the phrase wear your hot arnish sleeve to say that we're showing our intimate emotions in an honest and open manner. But, like I asked before, why are we wearing our emotions and why are they on our sleeve? Why not on our chest or our forehead, something that has something to do with our heart or mind? I feel like the saying should be something like Sally wears her thoughts on her face or hey, your heart is showing. I don't know, I'm not an idiom maker, but those things would make literal sense. But that's not the point of an idiom, right? Wear your heart on your sleeve. Well, the saying is not easy to literally understand, but it is a term that's super common. Most people don't understand why we started using it or where it come from, so let's talk about it. The term wear your heart on your sleeve has several different possible origins. The first theory I came upon in my research, but the most unlikely, comes from Roman times In the Middle Ages. Emperor Claudius II ruled from 268 to 270 CE. Side note for anyone who didn't know, which was me before this episode CE stands for Common or Current Era, while BCE stands for Before the Common or Current Era. These abbreviations have a shorter history than BC Before Christ and AD After Death, although they still date from at least the 1700s, ce and BCE became more widespread in the later part of the 20th century, replacing BC and AD in a number of fields, notably science and academia, due to their religious neutrality. I didn't know that intellectual nugget before we started this show and I'm excited to learn a new fact. We'll be using CE throughout this episode and now you have a super fun new fact for your next trivia game.
Speaker 1Claudius gained his position and respect of the soldiers by being physically strong and especially cruel. Claudius was the first in a series of tough soldier emperors who would eventually restore the empire after the crisis of the third century. He believed that unattached men made better soldiers, so he declared marriage illegal for his army. As a concession, he encouraged temporary coupling. Once a year, during a Roman festival honoring Juno, men drew names to determine who would be their lady friend for the coming year. Once established, the man would wear the name of the lady on his sleeve for the rest of the festival, hence wearing your heart on your sleeve. I'm sure this was a super popular festival back then for men in the olden times and tickets were always sold out. It was like the Taylor Swift concert of the Roman Empire, but like way less cool for women. If it were me, I would be conveniently sick each time every year and definitely not RSVPing for that party. Also, I don't feel like we should call this wearing your heart on your sleeve. Let's call it like it is. It's more like wearing the name of the women you'll force have sex with you on your sleeve. Anyway, history is full of examples of humiliating and disgusting ways we've treated women. This one is particularly cringey, I digress. While we think that this might be barbaric, claudius was not the only ruler to think that single men would be better soldiers. Throughout history we have sent our single men off to war.
Speaker 1During World War I, the British government saw no alternative but to increase the number of soldiers by conscription, which was compulsory active service. What Americans would call the draft Before this time, service was voluntary. Parliament was deeply divided but recognized that, because of the imminent collapse of the morale of the French army, more soldiers were required to win the war. The answer the government decided to make military service mandatory, but they only made it mandatory for single men. The Military Service Act was passed in January of 1916, imposing conscription on all single men between 18 and 41 years of age, but exempted the medically unfit, clergymen, teachers and certain classes of industrial worker. Exempted the medically unfit, clergymen, teachers and certain classes of industrial worker.
Speaker 1Fast forward to World War II, the British again called unmarried men up for service. Plans for limited conscription applied to single men aged between 20 and 22, and they were given parliamentary approval in the Military Trading Act in May 1939. In December 1941, parliament passed a second National Service Act. It widened the scope of conscription further by making all unmarried men and women and childless widows between the ages of 20 and 30 liable to be called up. They would be activated for specific support roles in the war men fighting on the front lines and women serving as support.
Speaker 1Isn't it interesting that thousands of years after Claudius led his army of single men into battle, we still think it's best to send our unmarried and childless off to war first? It's an interesting thought to ponder. I mean, even today, as of this recording, in 2023, to be eligible to participate in United States Military Academy. To be eligible to participate in United States Military Academy, you cannot be married, you cannot be pregnant or have any legal obligation to support a child or children according to the Code of Federal Regulations. So was Claudius right? I guess it's easier to focus on your job if you don't have your heart on your sleeve.
Speaker 1While these events are historically accurate, I don't believe this is the true source of the saying. If it was, the term would have been more popular and it would have been seen in literary works of the time. However, the more likely possibility of where popular part of European culture was the medieval tournament and joust. Here is where the idiom gets fun. Knights showed off their fighting skills by riding against one another with wooden lances in a designated area known as the liss, two opposing knights were separated by a barrier or a tilt, hence the sport's other name of tilting. If you're having a hard time picturing this, go watch the movie A Knight's Tale with Heath Ledger. Hilarious representation of the sport, which is like the UFC of the medieval times. You have two grown men trying to hurt each other and trying to prove how awesome they are. Everyone would go to the jousting matches to watch their heroes fight it out.
Speaker 1Jousting was an important opportunity for heroic display, general pageantry and the chance for a knight to impress aristocratic ladies. Jousting fell out of fashion by the end of the Middle Ages, but there were occasional resurgences of the sport up to 19th century CE. In the Middle Ages, a sleeve was not only referred to as a part of a garment covering the arm, but as a piece of armor for the covering and protection of the arm during jousting. When participating in a joust, knights would often dedicate their performance to a lady of the court and they would wear something of hers, such as a scarf or a ribbon, and they would tie it around their sleeve of armor, which indicated to the tournament spectators which lady the knight favored. For a classic gift of love. A medieval lady would bestow a favor on the knight of the tournament. Something fluttery and easily tied would make a good public declaration. Also, something foldable and small could be tucked away in the knight's armor as a private symbol of devotion. What made a gift like this particularly special was the fact that it was most likely handmade by the lady herself, and so it could have her family colors or her own special symbols stitched onto it. As with similar tokens throughout the century, it may have even held a signature scent from the lady's favorite lotion, bath water or perfume. Ooh la la. That is a very nice personal gift.
Speaker 1While this tradition of chivalry seems to be the likely physical inspiration of the term, evidence is lacking that the phrase was actually used during this time period. No literary evidence can be found during the time that the idiom was commonly spoken or written in phrase. However, by the 17th century, a figurative meaning of the phrase existed, as attested by Shakespeare's use. This expressed emotional honesty and openness. There is no evidence that Shakespeare created the phrase, or if it was a phrase used in culture of the time, but he was the one that made it popular in his writing. But the first real evidence we have of its use is in his play. In Shakespeare's tragic play Othello, which was written in the 17th century in 1603, the villainous Iago betrays Othello, the main character. He says the line I will wear my heart upon my sleeve. Iago is confessing to his treacherous acts and saying that by wearing his heart upon his sleeve or truly exposing himself, he's opening himself up. He would be inviting crows to peck away at him. This is dramatic. You might not know it, but Shakespeare is responsible for many commonly used sayings. It's not known if these were popular sayings of the time or if he was just the first one to incorporate them into literature, or if Shakespeare himself came up with the phrases. He was very original and eloquent in his writing, but we also know that many people of the time were not professional writers. It's not like today, when anyone with like a thought and an iPhone can say whatever they want and the masses will get it instantly when they post it on TikTok.
Speaker 1According to an article by Dominic Selwood in 2021 called the British in Reading A Short History, which talks about British literacy rates in the late 1400s, 10% of men were literate. 30% of men were literate by 1650, which was Shakespeare's time, and 60% by 1750. Women in this time were less literate because they did not have the same education opportunities. It took until the 1600s, if you math that's 200 years later than men, for 10% literacy rates in Shakespeare's time and 40% in 1750. The steep hike in literacy came in the 19th century among the working class. In 1800, 60% of men and 40% of women were literate, and in 1900s, the number had soared to 97% for both sexes, with the rise most totally attributable to the access of good education. An even more fun fact is, as of 2020, in Britain, the college participation level for young women has now reached 56.6%, compared to only 44.1% for young men.
Shakespear or Not Shakespear
Speaker 1In an article called Mind the Gap published in the Guardian, written by Rachel Hewitt about PhDs in England, it states that women now hold more PhDs than men. However, the convergence in higher education rates for men and women is not necessarily because of a result in the increase of women obtaining PhDs. It is a result of the decline in the rate of men doing so. An article by Zoe Talent Solutions, last updated in 2023, states similar statistics for the United States. I just found these stats very interesting. Oh, how far we've come. Okay, back to the 1600s. What I'm saying is that not many people could write or read, so maybe Shakespeare came up with these phrases, or maybe he got the inspiration from spoken language at the time, but he gets all the credit for these popular phrases. Let's see how many people can guess which commonly used phrases come from Shakespeare himself. When we make our friends play Shakespeare or Not Shakespeare, this game is called Shakespeare or Not Shakespeare. I'm going to give you a phrase and you tell me if it's Shakespeare or Not Shakespeare.
Speaker 2Heart of gold or Break the Ice.
Speaker 4Break the Ice is Shakespeare and Heart of Gold is not.
Speaker 1Vanish into thin air To come full circle.
Speaker 2To show your true colors.
Speaker 8I'd say to come full circle to show your true colors. I'd say to come full circle and to show your true colors is shakespeare to vanish.
Speaker 1Thin air is not wild goose, chase green-eyed monster and method to my madness I'm gonna say wild goose chase, shakespeare, and I don't know.
Speaker 3Maybe I'm going to say Wild Goose Chase, shakespeare and I don't know, maybe Green-Eyed Monster. For whatever reason, message to my Madness sounds more of like a I don't know. Maybe that one is Shakespeare. I'll stick with my original answer Wild Goose Chase and Green-Eyed Monster, shakespeare.
Speaker 7Love is blind Shakespeare. In my heart of hearts Shakespeare.
Speaker 3Knock, knock. Who's there? Shakespeare, not Shakespeare.
Speaker 4Not.
Speaker 6Shakespeare.
Speaker 3Okay.
Speaker 4All of those are Shakespeare, they're all Shakespeare, okay, so stupid.
Speaker 2There you go, shakespeare or not Shakespeare thank you to all of our contestants.
Why we get vulnerable
Speaker 1Did you know that all these phrases were from the 1600s? I thought it'd be interesting to see if anyone knew that. The next time you tell someone a knock knock joke or swoon over the show Love is Blind, you can think about that fun fact. Okay, so we have gone from not being able to get married in Roman times to trying to win the love of a lady in medieval times, to eloquently writing about love and emotions in Shakespearean times. Love, vulnerability, connection and emotions are ingrained into everything that is human. It's a story as old as time. However, vulnerability is tough. Wearing your heart on your sleeve is never easy. Even in a modern society, it's hard to talk about vulnerability. We are just starting to come into an age where it's okay to wear your heart on your sleeve and it's not deemed shameful.
Speaker 1An incredible book by the author Brene Brown tackles the complex topic of vulnerability. She is one of the leading researchers in this developing field of science. Daring Greatly is an excellent book that helps dispel the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness. Brene has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame and empathy. She's the author of six number one New York Times bestsellers and the host of two award-winning Spotify podcasts Unlocking Us and Dare to Lead, hashtag podcast goals. If you have never read a Brene Brown book, her works are very well-researched, they are full of important emotional topics and she's easy to understand. She gives personal examples that are easy to relate to. I feel like when I'm reading or listening to one of her books, I'm sitting down with a girlfriend or my mom and they're comforting me and telling me informational things about life. I've never left one of her books without feeling empowered and ready to be more open. If you wanna learn more about Brene Brown and her other books, you can head to her website. The links to the website, the books and the podcasts are in the show notes.
Speaker 1Brene says we can associate vulnerability with weakness and we wear emotional armor to prevent people from seeing our vulnerabilities. Sounds exactly like the sleeves of the medieval knights Interesting parallel, no? So what exactly is vulnerability? Brene Brown says the more we protect ourselves from vulnerability, the more we grow fearful and disconnected. Being vulnerable, then, means the opposite engaging fully and openly with the world around us. Vulnerability is the courage of putting ourselves out there. It's the courage of being open despite knowing it might hurt us, and once we're able to do that, we will also be able to fully experience all the joyful moments of our lives. Some examples she gives of vulnerability, or what some people would say wearing your heart on your sleeve is are sharing an unpopular opinion, asking for help, saying no, falling in love, sharing a secret, trying something new, admitting you're afraid, asking for forgiveness or starting a podcast.
Speaker 1I feel all of these things, and I know you do too. Life is full of vulnerability. I will say that on a personal note. Starting this podcast has been a huge source of vulnerability for me. I feel like putting my voice, my ideas and myself out there to the world is so intimidating. I know that there are people out there that will appreciate the passion I have for learning and talking about these topics, but I also know that there are a lot of people who won't. They won't like it and they're not going to be kind about it. Knowing that is scary. Putting yourself, your passion, your love for something or someone out there is terrifying, but you can't realize the joy these things can bring you without putting yourself out there, without truly letting go and just going for it.
Could you die from a broken heart?
Speaker 1I'm such a huge advocate of doing things that scare you. You shouldn't be trapped by fear. Life is too short not to go for it. Go after that love, apply for that job, tackle a fear or chase your dreams. I don't know who needed to hear that out there, but for all the people that missed it the first time, turn this up. You, yes, you. You listening right now. If there's something that you wanted or someone you wanted, go, be vulnerable, go after those things and do it with relentless passion. You get one life. If you fail, get back up. But life's not worth living without you trying again and again to fill your life with love, not worth living without you trying again and again to fill your life with love. Okay, we're getting real with this episode. So, if it's so important, why would we choose to not be vulnerable?
Speaker 1As we all know, there are many reasons why people do not feel comfortable with being vulnerable, especially with other people. Many of us are weary of others and waiting for them to show us their true colors before we open up to them. Okay, pause, did you hear it? Show your true colors. You're probably super excited that you knew where that idiom came from, if you've been paying attention. Okay, I digress. In today's jargon, we are waiting for someone to stop deceiving us and show us who they really are. It's hard to open yourself up and be vulnerable to someone that's not open to you or that's different than you. That's why a lot of people find it easier to be emotionally unavailable or socially distance themselves from people so they don't get hurt. I get it. Love's a battlefield and sometimes you want to get out of the game. However, just because you think you'll be better off closing yourself off to people does not mean it's good for your mental or physical health.
Speaker 1When we repress our emotions, we will have psychological and even physical issues that come up. Did you know? Your emotions have energy. They push up for physical expression and to keep them down, our minds and bodies create tactics, including muscular constriction, holding our breath and other things that can make us feel ill. When the mind stops the flow of emotions because they're too overwhelming or conflicting, it puts stress on the brain and body. This creates psychological distress and illness symptoms. Emotional stress like that from blocked emotions has not only been linked to mental illness, but also physical problems. The role that emotions play in creating both physical suffering and healing is becoming a more popular focus in psychotherapy.
Speaker 1In a book called the Body Keeps the Score Brain, mind and Body in the Healing of Trauma, written by Bessel A van der Kolk. He speaks about healing and understanding trauma's effects on our lives and bodies. I highly recommend this book. It was an incredible read. The link is in the show notes. Van der Kolk says traumatized people chronically feel unsafe inside their bodies. The past is alive in the form of gnawing interior discomfort. Their bodies are consistently bombarded by visceral warning signs.
Speaker 1Basically, in simple terms, if you are repressing your emotions, they will eventually come out in one way or another. You need to find a healthy outlet for you to let them go. I'm also so glad that therapy is becoming more mainstream and getting help and being vulnerable is becoming more commonplace. Everyone should feel comfortable talking to a friend or seeing a therapist. According to statistics, the number of adults seeking mental health treatment in 2002 was 27%, and in 2021, that number almost doubled to 42%. The stigma of needing help has to end. Everyone should have access to mental health care and know that it's okay to get help from time to time. My hope is that in years to come, we all find it okay to get the help we need. Life is tough. Everybody struggles. If you're out there listening today and you find yourself or someone you love struggling, it's okay to get help. It's out there for you.
Speaker 1Repressing your emotions can lead to more than general mental unhappiness. Like the book we talked about before stated, it can lead to physical vulnerability. Here's a list of some of the physical symptoms that can come from emotional distress that you may not have known about, like chest pains, psoriasis, thyroid dysfunction, seizures, sexual dysfunction, blindness, fibromyalgia, back pain and irritable bowel syndrome, just to name a few. Emotions don't just affect your mood, it affects the whole body. They have such a huge effect on our bodies that you can also die from a broken heart. Yeah, I said die.
Speaker 1Broken heart syndrome, also known as tachysubo cardiomyopathy or stress cardiomyopathy, is a temporary heart condition that develops in response to an intense emotional or physical experience. According to the Mayo Clinic, the exact cause of broken heart syndrome is unclear. It's thought that a surge of stress hormones, such as adrenaline, might temporarily damage the heart in some people. How these hormones might hurt the heart or whether something else is responsible isn't completely clear. A temporary squeezing of the large or small arteries in the heart may play a role. People who have broken heart syndrome also may have a change in the structure of their heart muscle. The heart can actually change shape during this time.
Conclusion
Speaker 1An intense physical or emotional event often comes before broken heart syndrome. Anything that causes strong emotional response may trigger the condition. Examples include major surgery, a sudden broken bone, death of a loved one or an extreme loss or a strong argument. In this condition, the heart's main pumping chamber changes shape, affecting the heart's ability to pump blood effectively. Fun fact, broken heart syndrome is more common in women than in men. However, men are more likely to die than women. Fun fact, the heart's chamber looks similar to a takotsupo pot, which is a Japanese fishing pot used to catch octopus, which is why they named it a takotsupo pot, which is a Japanese fishing pot used to catch octopus, which is why they named it a takotsupo cardiomyopathy. Last fun fact an octopus has three hearts. I threw that fun fact in just for entertainment purposes and as a parting gift of this podcast episode. Anyway, this has been a long and emotional journey. We've talked about everything from hearts on sleeves to being vulnerable to Shakespeare, irritable bowel syndrome and octopus pots. That is a lot of information.

Speaker 3They are all shakespeare. Oh my gosh, no way, that's kind of cool. Finish and finish.
Speaker 1Wow, we get so much from that man the first time we ever see the word puking or swagger in the way that we use it today is Shakespeare. You would never know that you were saying a word from the 1600s and he's credited with it, but who knows?
Speaker 4I thought that was interesting. Wow.
Speaker 7So in the 2010s, when we were all talking about swag at the clubs, we were just quoting Shakespeare all along yes, how, how areas died of us.
Speaker 1I isn't that crazy.
Speaker 3And you're like, I mean like this, and it's so nuts.
Speaker 1That language is like that which I, which is why. I find these topics so interesting.
Speaker 7I'm trying to think. I feel like I heard something similar to that recently, and I don't know what it was, what it was on my old age.
Speaker 2my memory is Slippin' it's not what it used to be now that I'm almost 40.
Speaker 1Do you know where the origin of where your heart, on your sleeve, comes from.

Speaker 1I could guess do you know where the origin of where your heart on your sleeve would come from?
Speaker 8no, they have your question.
Speaker 2I have no idea like things and stuff when are you going to do a sports podcast?
Speaker 8you gotta call me back when you got. Like, where does the term first and 10 come from?
Speaker 2No, I can't call you for that, because you're going to know all the sports videos.
Speaker 8Well, I feel like I need to come up and, like, give you an answer, so you can I don't know have a if you need me to give a formal sentence.
Speaker 2No, you don't have to give me a formal sentence on anything Like like it's fine, you're just going to go into the blooper section.
Speaker 1It's not a big deal, okay, um, but you're going to be great at things like what swinging for the fences or what's.
Speaker 3some other ones See I don't know sports idioms.
Speaker 5Wearing your heart on your sleeve. Well, well, I guess that has to do. What does it have to do with Kind?
Speaker 2of like, can I?

Speaker 2This is way more important. Idioms came from. Is it an idiom? Is that what it's called? Oh, my gosh, it is. It's an idiom. Yep, you got it. Yeah, oh, it's not the thing it. Yeah, it's not to sing.
Speaker 5Alright, well, I rescind my call of friend.
Speaker 7You only get one, so I know Alright.

Speaker 2before you leave Well, you see, it was like back in the medieval days when.
Speaker 5She just placed her hand open and like kind of like a blood pact. You would wear it on your sleeve to let her know that you were that Roaming poets used to put hearts on their sleeves to signify their occupations? I don't know.
Speaker 2Is it? Does it have to do with tattoos and the remembrance, or, like Taylor, that has mom tattoos on there?

Speaker 2Like. Do you know the answer?
Speaker 5Yeah, she knows the answer.
Speaker 2Oh, she doesn't. So this is like a quiz. We're participating in a quiz.
