In the early 20th century a men's underwear company used the phrase "No metal can touch you" to sell their line of men's garters for socks called "Paris Garters." The phrase literally meant that no metal in the garter would be able to touch the skin. However, the phrase took on a humorous double meaning for soldiers during World War 1 as they took it to mean that by wearing the garters as a good luck charm no no metal, i.e. bullets, would touch them.
