Used to lament the lack of respect for traditions, ideas, values, etc. and conveys that not much is still considered inviolable or untouchable
Etymology:
- Likely comes from the real “Riot Act,” an act passed by the British government in 1714 to prevent unruly assemblies. It seems the phrase came about in the 18th century when King George I and the government feared being overthrown by supporters of the previous Stuart dynasty, forcing them to question the significance of their deeply held beliefs.
