No one knows the exact origin of this phrase. What is known is that it is extremely old. It appears in The Book of Margery Kempe, circa 1438. This was
an account of the life of religious visionary Margery Kempe and is considered to be the earliest surviving autobiography written in English:
"Yyf I here any mor thes materys rehersyd, I xal so smytyn ye nayl on ye hed that it schal schamyn alle hyr mayntenowrys."
In modernised English, that reads as:
"If I hear any more these matters repeated, I shall so smite the nail on the head that it shall shame all her supporters."
