Of rugs and carpets

Not the fascinating stuff we walk on as much as how its come to be used in the English language as a metaphor or idioms or Hollywood slang wherever you turn. It all began with Alladin flying on one that mesmerized the reading and movie going public where Disney continues to milk that cow (or wool) for what its worth. Then came this - He was called to the carpet and when he refused they took him to the carpet..That pulled the rug from under him .. On getting to the carpet the honcho said ..Nice rug (with reference to the toupe) you got there .. what did you expect? A red carpet welcome? Since you don't got what I want I am going to mess you on this carpet and then proceed to sweep everything under the carpet. Capiche?
