What does the phrase Saved by the bell mean?

England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a "bone-house" and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the "graveyard shift") to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be "saved by the bell" or was considered a "dead ringer."

It's Latin for "Who is like God?" or "Who is like unto God?" Here's another Latin phrase for you: "Deus lo volt." That means "God wills it." That's what the knights shouted before the Crusades. Just thought it would be interesting.

It is the state motto of New Hampshire, I believe.\n\nThe phrase comes from a toast written by General John Stark on July 31, 1809. Poor health forced Stark, New Hampshire's most famous soldier of the American Revolutionary War, to decline an invitation to an anniversary reunion of the Battle of Bennington and to send his toast by letter:\n\n"Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils."\n\nThe motto was enacted at the same time as the state emblem, on which the motto appears.
