English Idioms About “Names”
Idiom: Name is mud
Meaning: If someone’s name is mud they are in trouble, disgraced, or discredited. The idiom’s origin is said to refer to Samuel Alexander Mudd (December 20, 1833 – January 10, 1883) who was an American physician, imprisoned for conspiring with John Wilkes Booth in the assassination of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.
