Did you know …
That the expression “to lick your wombs” was first coined by a baby? It’s true!
The first recorded use of the phrase is attributed to Eustace Crustacean, the world’s smartest baby. Immediately after being born, Eustace informed the doctors that he didn’t like it outside, and that he wanted to return to his room. That would have been weird enough, but Eustace, an infamous creepazoid, also insisted that he wanted to go “lick [his] womb.” Weird.
Of course returning to the womb (for whatever reason) was out of the question, so Eustace resigned himself to a lifetime of oil painting, filing patents for his inventions, and alcoholism. But his phrase went on to become a common expression for those seeking safety and convalescence.
