"It's certainly the case that, although British common law once held that it was legal for a man to chastise his wife in moderation (whatever that meant), the 'rule of thumb' has never been the law in England. Despite the phrase being in common use since the 17th century and appearing many thousands of times in print, there are no printed records that associate it with domestic violence until the 1970s." - http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/rule-of-thumb.html SusanG  ContribsTalk 18:03, 26 August 2008 (EDT)
