“Intelligence is sexy is a tagline by the author Hotforwords. These word origins are as interesting as she is stunning. Beauty and brains are too hot a combo to miss.” I think that’d be a good blurb. On the literary front how about the origins for book, writing, literature, genre, or author. Thanks and keep up the good work. Duane
PS love the historical aspects.

Sisyphean
Indeed I’ve had a sisyphean task. I worked on radar in the navy and keeping it functioning was always a game of one step forward and zero to three steps back. Another good video. How about the origin of dregs, scum, or villany. Thanks.
Werewolf
Excellent video. Good choice of word too. Perhaps do other monsterous words such as vampire, lycanthorope, mummy, or ogre. Thanks
Happy as a clam
Interesting as usual. Thanks so much. I was wondering about the origins of possible, plausible, and deniable. Looking forward to the next video.
Soccer & Football
Interesting. How about the origin for fencing or some of the fencing terms? Maybe hockey or other sports that aren’t imminently obvious in their name origin. Thanks Duane
Phoney
I’m new to the site but I gotta say it’s great. I’ve got way too many words I’m curious about but for now how about … acquire or ludicrous? Thanks, Duane
PS I had no idea were Phoney came from. Pretty cool.
