Actually the Babylonians invented geometry in order to design the world`s first bra because the King of Babylon, Nevercouldnecker, was constantly nagged by the Queen of Babylon about the HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON:’ viz

“The written record gives instructions for estimating the area under TWO curves by finding the area of trapezoids drawn underneath.” If the areas can be solved, then the volumes can be solved by Solid Trigonometry, [also invented by the Babylonians] which can be used to find the volume of the TWO spherical polygons, and thus the weight thereof; ergo, the load-bearing parameters for support of the two spherical polygons thereof can be deduced.

Yep. She kept asking him, "How's it hanging?"

That's where that phrase came from.
