About This Quote

I hate a phony-looking stiff" is an expression that Aunt Edna would use to describe a person who claims to be something they're not. This expression has been used for thousands of years and it can be traced back to the time when people used human skin to cover their bodies. The words "stiff" and "stiff" derive from the Old English word "stifan," which meant "thin." When people started covering their bodies with "fake skin," they were pretending to be something they weren't. The expression, therefore, means that you can't trust a person who is pretending to be something they are not.
