This phrase derives from the fact that, during
early English theatre, actresses were poorly
paid and often used prostitution to
supplement their income. Because of these
loose morals, clergymen spent a lot of time
with these actresses trying to get them to
turn from their sinful ways. Thus, it was a
common occurrence for actresses to confess
their sexual sins to these clergymen
(bishops). Somewhere along the line, it
became common then to say as the actress
said to the bishop or alternatively said the
actress to the bishop any time someone
uttered a phrase that could be taken sexually,
if viewed in the correct light.
What phrase?
