Origins

You ever wonder how some of the names that we have today (whether it's the name of song or the name of a street or even the name of a restaurant), and thought about tracing that name back to it's roots as to why they named this particular thing what they named it in the first place?

Even if you can't find the true origin of it's name or who they had named this thing after, I still think it would be great to at least think that you know where that name had came from or fabricate an idea of where the name came from, just so you can believe in that idea and make the subject fun to talk about.

Like my thoughts of Old Mcdonald, they said that he had a farm...BULLCRAP!!! I just think that they had told you that in school just so that the song would be entertaining to sing as a kid. Well, it worked, but I think it would be even more entertaining to know what the truth was in what Old Mcdonald really had.

Old Mcdonald was a pimp. He was an old player, with tons of money, and women were chasing him around everywhere. Unfortunately, he caught a disease from those women. He caught VD. That's where that E-I-E-I-O part of the song came in. Those were the noises he made while he was outside taking a leak.

And I also wonder about some of these restaurants true background and how did they come up with their names. Like IHOP, I think there is a serious case of history with this one. They can easily come up with an acronym for that. They just figured out what they do much of in that restaurant and name it after that. "Hmmm....well let's see, we serve pancakes, and people eat pancakes all over the world, so we'll call it, The International House of Pancakes! Hooraayyy! We did it! We came up with a name!"

But I think that they came up with the name IHOP first. Maybe it was because when they still had slaves in this country, they feed us, but we always had shackles around our ankles, so we had to hop into a place to eat.

Another restaurant is Denny's. As you see, they place the stress on the first syllable today, but I think at one point, they had put the stress on the second syllable. I guess that was because the food was so good, that it would make you weak in Denny's (pronounced da knees).
