Slang of the Day: Save your bacon (verb phrase) To save yourself from punisment. Example: Well, you broke the window, but if you run now, you just might Save your bacon. Celebrity quote: "Let us fly and save our bacon." -François Rabelais (c. 1490–1553) Explanation: The phrase has nothing to do with bacon. The old Dutch word for bacon was baec; but then the earlier AngloSaxon word for back was also baec. To save one's bacon is really to save one's baea (back) from a thrashing.
