DID YOU HEAR THE ONE
ABOUT THE MEDIEVAL SHOW?
There was a show that travelled throughout Europe during the Middle Ages. It quickly became famous for its impressive stunts.
It became known as the Show of Tension due to its tightrope-walking acts. The performers were nicknamed Tension.
But when poverty swept through Europe, people couldn’t afford to spend money to see the show. And that’s how the expression “unable to pay a tension” was born.
