I always thought they are called “cops” because that’s the sound their shoes (or was it their horses?) make on cobblestone roads.

• I have another word: bull’s eye
• Hi Marina, I would like to request the word “spring.” How can one word have so many meanings? As a verb, it means to rise or leap. As a noun, it can mean a small stream of water or a coil of wire.

  Where does the word “decimal” come from?

  Reading your comments made me want to make another request:

  Why is it called a “running joke”? Why not swimming, jogging, or walking?

  Why is it called “running water” when people usually can’t run very well in a swimming pool?

  Hey Marina,

  I would like to know the origin of the phrase, “How do you like them apples?”

  Thanks for considering my request
