The origin of the idiom "below the salt" can be traced back to medieval dining customs. In those times, dining tables of nobility often featured a large salt cellar placed in the center. The salt was a valuable and expensive commodity, and its placement on the table symbolized prestige.  It is often used to discuss or critique issues related to social inequality, class distinctions, or perceived inferiority.
