FACT or CRAP?

When you call someone a "pussy" for being timid or lacking courage, you are actually using an abbreviation of the Latin word pusillanimous, which means cowardly.





Nope was just testing to see if youd do it :-)

Not surprisingly, the calendar got this one wrong. Their answer:

FACT! "Politicians are pusillanimous peewees; the don't do anything." - Wayne Rogers

Gotta love the English language.



The correct answer:

The word pussy derives from the germanic word pus/puss which is a reference to a cat; the slang form was originally referring to a pretty woman (similar to dame), then later on slang for a certain part of the female anatomy, and eventually for being weak. Pusillanimous is a latin word that means small spirited or something like that, but the words are not related.

So this is CRAP.

Today's probably horrible and likely wrong question:


FACT or CRAP?

Amos is the "real" name of the Cookie Monster, a name inspired by the Famous Amos cookie brand.
