Hello Marina, I have several word requests:

1. Is there a connection between “loco” and “locomotion”?

2. How did “Double Dutch” come t be associated with unintelligible speech? Are we Dutch really that bad?

3. What’s the origin of the word “boobs”? Does it have anything to do with “balloons”, which sounds similar?

Hello Marina

I would like to request the work “MUG”
Why does this word have at least three meanings? and are they related?

1) Someone’s face can be called a “mug” (mug shot) or he has an ugly mug.
2) A kind of cup: “mug” of coffee
3) To rob someone (attack with intent to steal for a person): Like the old man was “mugged” on the street for his watch.

Thanks,
DW :grin:

I would like to know the origin of the word “hooray” as in “hooray for beer” for example….. but I am especially curious why it is sometimes preceded by “hip-hip” as in “hip-hip hooray!” What do you think….. is it worth investigating?
