PHRASES WE USE EVERY DAY
"Laughing Stock".
A laughing stock is a person exposed to a wide number of other people for their stupidity. In medieval England the stocks were used in many villages to hold a petty criminal or daft soul who had been caught doing something silly, in front of their own community. Their hands and feet would be secured in the wooden frame and the village folk would gather round to laugh at and humiliate the hapless person, often pelting them with vegetables.
