This phrase derives from the fact that, during

early English theatre, actresses were poorly

paid and often used prostitution to

supplement their income. Because of these

loose morals, clergymen spent a lot of time with these actresses trying to get them to turn from their sinful ways. Thus, it was a

common occurrence for actresses to confess

their sexual sins to these clergymen

(bishops). Somewhere along the line, it

became common then to say as the actress said to the bishop or alternatively said the actress to the bishop any time someone uttered a phrase that could be taken sexually,

if viewed in the correct light.

What phrase?

Come on! That one wasnt very hard!

Thats what she said!
