9 Unflattering Words Named for Real People
November 16th, 2007 by GregI was just going to throw this in with the rest of the Rampant Exclamations for this week, but I found it so interesting I give it the honor having it’s own personal space. This is an article explaining the origins of 9 words that actually came from real people; if you’re a fan of words, language, or kooky trivia, you should check it out! If, however, you are a typo-prone mouth-breather who thinks using the wrong form of There, Their or They’re isn’t a big deal because we get the gist anyway…this may not be for you. Go back to beating puppies with water hoses or whatever it is you people do.
