Hello everybody! 😊 Our slang term of the day is ”Big house”, which means “a high-security prison”. Origin: According to Jonathon Green’s Dictionary of Slang, the term big house with reference to prisons has been around since the early-20th century. The term possibly descends from big house as applied to the workhouses of 19th-century London, in which the unemployed and destitute would receive food and lodging in exchange for work. Because of the work programs in place in some North American prisons, workhouse is still used today to refer to some prisons. Didn't understand this slang term? You need example sentences?
