and it really has nothing to do with the price of clothing
- dsr_ 5y agoIt does, at least a little. If you give someone a $20 shirt, causing yourself a little embarassment, that's not quite the same commitment to charity as giving them your $20,000 car.
- missedthecue 5y agoThink of it this way; my shirt would have a lot more value to me than value to you. Therefore, if I gave you the shirt off my own back would show a high degree of selflessness. That's what the phrase conveys.
