据说这个短语来自于过去的一种风俗习惯：当客人停留时间太久，让主人感到不愉快时，主人就会拿出羊肩肉（cold shoulder of mutton）来请客人吃。这种肉生硬难吃，这样客人就会明白主人的意思，乖乖告辞了。从此cold shoulder就有了慢待别人的意思。
这个短语真正的起源来自于英国斯哥特的小说《古董家》(The Antiquary
It is said that the paragraph originated a kind of custom before. If the guest stayed the host's home so long that the master become impatient;then the master would take the cold shoulder of mutton which was very crude ,raw
and had bad taste out to treat the guests, and they would realize the master's underlying meaning and say goodbye politely.Since then cold should had have the beneath meaning of impatient to the guests.
The real origination of it is the novel named<The Antiquary> written by th great literature from shckete in British
