[UPDATE: In the comments, PGT explains the “green gown” term: “‘Give someone a green gown’ is actually one of the better known ones — it refers to acquiring grass stains on one’s undergarments from vigorous exercise while lying in the grass. ‘She has a green petticoat’ was Victorian for ‘she’s a slut,’ and even into the 20th century green woman’s underwear remained unpopular.”]
