As you suggest, which was used in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Used to refer to a time when people younger and freer. Always reminded me of the joys of spring crop of vegetables in Italy, among others. Each plant is so sweet and tasty as a mixture similar to a banquet, and there is virtually no seasoning, maybe just a little steam and a little olive oil cold pressed. So I can see the salad day, as is young, fresh, tasty and innocence of youth who always forget difficulties and still have a great responsibility.
Q] From Mike Bumbeck: "We are here to throw in the work to get platitudes this morning. Two of us thought that the days of the sentence of the salad. What is the origin of this sentence?"
[A] A Nice easy for a change. Unlike so many words and phrases, we are confident that it's coming. Appears in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, 1606, in a speech at the end of the first act, in which Cleopatra laments his youthful flirtation with Julius Caesar: "Day my salad when I green in the study." Thus the phrase came to mean "a period of youthful inexperience or indiscretion, but starting in mid-nineteenth century, very popular.
The link here is green, which already had a meaning for a few centuries at least before ShakesPEAR day, a young man, like the green shoots of spring, and also someone who was inexperienced or immature. In fact, for Shakespeare, not just some lettuce salad, dressing, a plate, but much more complicated chopped vegetables, mix and season was (the name comes from the Latin word for salt) is the word for each plant, the can be included in this dish.
However, Jan Freeman said in a speech of his columns for the Boston Globe in April 2001 that the term has changed meaning in the United States over the past twenty years. Now often refers to a period in the past, if someone on their capacity or purchasing power at the peak, but not necessarily when they were young. The change is not ashard to understand when one of the few people who really know their Shakespeare thinks.
Youth is
a time of youthful inexperience, innocence, or indiscretion.
