Euphemism: Fed Up

Euphemism is a common phrase. The euphemism I chose was "Fed Up". The meaning of the phrase means to have had enough or someone or something or to be bored and tired of the same thing. The origin of the phrase dates from the early 19th century when the languid aristocracy were compared to farm animals that were forced to make them plump for market. This piece from the English newspaper "The Middlesex Courier" gives an example, "Everything being done for them, they never learn to do anything; they are fed up, as it were in a stall to exist and not act."
