Now there you see – another thing I’ve known all my life turned on it’s head…

I was always being nice just to get presents from Santa! So what does that imply about me?

And then also, why was Santa trying to get me to be like that?

Just what is really going on here anyway?

There may be more roots to the less positive connotations of this word. At least as far back as the 14th Century it was sometimes used to mean “wanton, loose-mannered, lascivious”. In 1366 Chaucer wrote “Nyce (“nice”) she was, but she mente noone harme ne slight in hir entente, But oonely lust and jolyte”. The spelling is a bit outdated, but I think the meaning comes through pretty well. The word carried opposite meanings. As early as 1573 it was used to mean effeminate, unmanly, so maybe that’s part of the word’s transition to its current status as a “kiss of death” in the dating scene. Anyhow, I love HFW’s pursuance of her chosen strand of the word’s history.

After hitting the random lesson tab, I got a ni.. great lesson on the word nice. I still don’t look at it as a bad word, No doubt I will look at it with a little more of a suspisious mind from now on.
