Nowadays the phrase “Go to the bathhouse” seems harmless, but in the old days it had an extremely negative meaning.
We tell you what our ancestors wished for the person they sent to the bathhouse.
What is the meaning of the expression "Go to the bathhouse"
As reported by the Zen channel “Keep Speech”, in the old days people believed that the bathhouse was a place where evil spirits lived.
Such ideas of our ancestors about the bathhouse filled the desire to go there with a dark meaning.
The phrase “Go to the bathhouse” was not a wish for physical cleansing, as one might think now.
In fact, through this expression our ancestors wished harm to a bad person.
Initially, the phrase was a euphemistic wish to go to the bannik, the bathhouse devil, the Zen channel explains.
