The word “salary” stems from the Latin word “salarium,” meaning “salt money.” The Romans paid soldiers, officers, and civil administrators an allowance of salt, and “salarium” came to be a term for military pay after salt was no longer used to pay soldiers.

seems more appropriate to say "take this as a grain of salt soldier it is worth about as much as that to you" utterly worthless
