Did you know that the word "tuck" originated at Eton's Boys School as a result of the shortness of the school jackets?
Back in the day, Eton College had a strict uniform policy that required boys to wear short jackets. This led to the invention of the term "tuck" as a way to describe the action of tucking the jacket into the waistband of the trousers to keep warm. The word eventually evolved to refer to any kind of food that is tucked into something else, such as a shirt or a napkin.
Today, the term "tuck" is commonly used to describe a variety of things, from tucking in your shirt to tucking in your bed sheets. It's amazing to think that such a simple word has such an interesting origin!
