We are on the last page of the year. I was disappointed in my Word Origins Calendar (too many computer terms!) and I won’t be getting another. I’m switching to a Far Side or Golf Tips desk calendar.
The last word of 2010 was “brandy” (the drink – not the girls name popular in the late 70s). It means burned wine only palatable to old ladies and the English ripped the term off from the Dutch brandewijn. Creative.
I hope you all set your drinks (or towns) on fire on this night of celebration. Happy New Year!
