I know most English sayings date way back to the times when Vikings were not just a TV series. I also remember the Harvest Festival being touted in schools (although a can of baked beans isn't really a harvest item). Spring and Fall > seasons > harvest + reading/writing not a thing before Wikipedia = sayings we no longer understand the origins of. There are quite a few sayings that are used out of their original context, but of courde I can't think of a single one to use as an example.
Spring forward, Fall back is for the change to and from Daylight Saving.
