Touch wood
The custom is thought to originate from Pagan times when trees were held in high esteem. People believed that ‘wood spirits’ inhabited the trees and woodlands. To touch a tree with respect is thought to indicate that the person was in search of protection from the particular wood spirit.
It is thought also that the action may be a result of the Christian belief in The Crucifixion. Christ was crucified on a cross made of wood and hence touching wood may now be a sign of this belief, and a sign of deep compassion and reverence for Christ’s resurrection. This would of course have no connection with the Pagan reasoning, but perhaps the action may be seen as result of two distinctive belief systems.

Mad as a hatter
In 17th and 18th century Britain, hats were lined with lead to make them heavier and more inclined to stability.
Constantly working with, heating and manipulating lead gave many “hatters” severe mental health problems, hence the term.
That’s interesting. I always thought it was cumulative mercury poisoning that did the noggin damage in the hatting game.

GIVE SOMEBODY THE COLD SHOULDER
When an unwanted visitor came you gave them cold shoulder of mutton instead of hot meat as a hint that they were not to call again.
