Origin

Old English cē(a)ce, cēoce 'cheek, jaw', of West Germanic origin; related to Dutch kaak.

The Old English word cheek, meaning both cheek and jaw, came to mean ‘rude or disrespectful behaviour’ in the mid 19th century. The sense probably comes from the idea of a person's cheeks moving as he rudely answers a superior back. Cheeky was first used around the same time. The affectionate reprimand you cheeky monkey! is particularly common in Lancashire, and is often used by the barmaid Betty Turpin in the ITV soap opera Coronation Street. A variation of the expression was popularized in the 1950s by the comedian Al Read, whose catchphrase was ‘Right, monkey!’ In cheek by jowl, meaning ‘very close together’, jowl (Old English) simply means ‘cheek’. In fact the original form of the phrase was cheek by cheek. To turn the other cheek is to make a deliberate decision to remain calm and not to retaliate when you have been attacked or insulted. The expression comes from the Gospel of Matthew: ‘But I say to ye, That ye resist not evil; but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other.’
