Big wig and its dirty origins

Have you seen judges in the law courts of Australia, the US, and the UK wearing wigs? Did you know that wearing a wig was a sign of prestige and power and that those wigs gave rise to an idiom in English? If you didn't know, have a listen to Ronil Doshi and Siddharth Verma of grade 9th talking about the origins of the phrase 'big wig'. You'll be surprised to know of its funny and dirty beginnings. And, if you know any funny story about idioms and phrases, send it to us. We'd love to discuss it here.
