Literature | Cry Vinegar (To). In French, Crier Vinaigre. The shout of sportsmen when a hare is caught. He cries "Vinegar !" he has caught the hare; metaphorically it means, he has won success. "C'étoit, dit le Duchat, la coutume en Languedoc, entre les chasseurs, de s'écrier l'un à l'autre `Vinaigre,' dès qu'ils avaient tiré un lièvre, parceque la vraie sauce de cet animal est le vinaigre. " Crier au Vinaigre has quite another meaning. It is the reproof to a landlord who serves his customers with bad wine. In a figurative sense it means Crier au Voleur. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
