Why do people say that your mind is in the gutter if it's dirty?!


Question: Why do people say that your mind is in the gutter if it's dirty!?
When the gutter is actually a clean place!. The sewer on the other hand is never a clean place!. So wouldn't it be more accurate to say someone's mind is in the sewer!?Www@Enter-QA@Com

My mind is like a sewer, not a gutter!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I believe the expression goes back to the times of Shakespeare!. Back then most towns and cities might of had gutters but didn't have sewers!. And everything from food scraps to the contents of chamber pots got dumped in the gutter and stayed there until the rains washed the filth away!.

Times change and make some expressions seem nonsensical!. Take the expression "gone to pot"!. Most people think it has something to do with marijuana but that one also goes back to Elizabethan times!. If you had a piece of meat that was less than fresh and was starting to spoil -it would go to pot, the stew pot; and be made into soup before it went totally rotten!.

Before modern sewer systems the gutter was about as nasty and dirty a place that you could easily find!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Not so sure its that clean

Well not clean enough to leave a mind rolling about in it

If its in the sewer its making progress from the toilet!. The dirtier the mind gets then the farther on it goes!. Eventually, at its zenith of dirtiness, it reaches the sewage treatment works!. After a short time here it emerges again so clean you could fill a glass with it and drink it!. Or have a shower in it!. Or flush it down the toilet and start the cycle of filth again!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Gutters are not clean unless they are cleaned frequently!. You ever watch that Simpson's episode where Bart cleans this old lady's gutters for nickels!? Oh it's great!. Her gutters are filled with leaves and dirt!. I think some animals were living in one too!. Sewers are dirty too, but no one ever has to clean those!. So, we wouldn't often think of it in reference to ourselves or one another!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

i suppose you are talking about rain gutters that have the screens over them to prevent leaves and trash from getting in them!. but even those get green or black with mold over time!. I however think it should be bedroom mouth, since a dirty mind is usually thinking of sex!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I don't know where you live, but in my city, the gutters are filled with trash, heroin needles, tampons, condoms, dirty diapers, beer cans, etc!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

The gutter is can be the side of the road too!. Hello!?! Have you seen public roads!?! Garbage everywhere!. And they are low because they're on the street!. So, your mind is low and dirty!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
