Pulp Fiction 1994
as a chronic googler, this film had me deep dive into the history of the term to “powder one’s nose”…and here’s what i discovered:
- The term derived from the eighteenth century household ‘powder room’ where traditionally women would go to powder wigs or hair.
- After wigs were out of fashion, powder rooms were converted to traditional half bathrooms and the excuse to “powder one’s nose” became a popular way to be polite when leaving a social setting.
