Todays nerdy lesson is brought to you by the letter "k" and the number 3.
The word silly meant blessed or happy in the 11th century going through pious, innocent, harmless, pitiable, feeble, feeble minded before finally ending up as foolish or stupid.
Pretty began as crafty then changed via clever, skilfully made, fine to beautiful.
Buxom began with the meaning obedient and changed via compliant, lively, plump to large breasted.
The word nice meant stupid and foolish in the late 13th Century. It went through a number of changes including wanton, extravagant, elegant, strange, modest, thin, and shy. By the middle of the 18th Century it had gained its current meaning of pleasant and agreeable.
Words are changing meaning now: consider how the words bad and gay have changed in recent years.
You have been enlightened once again..... now run along and play...

From whence dust cometh such enlightenment, oh great and worthy nerd.
Here's a simple word, hydrogen. What does it mean? sure it's a clear, colurless explosive gas but what does the word literally mean? It's made of 2 word, hydro and gen. Hydro= water and gen=origin (as in generator or gene). So hydrogen is the origin of water which makes sense as water is actually burnt hydrogen. Fwooaarrrrrr !

My pleasyre !
Here's a word, isotonic. Does everyone know that it means? You see it written on sports drinks. It means that the drink has the same level of salts and sugars that your body has. Hypertonic would mean more and hypotonic would mean less (as in hypogloscemic. Diabetics would know that one=not enough sugar). My point is this, if you lose water through perspiration wouldn't you need a drink that was hypotonic? My advice is drink water !! The sports drink is a sales gymick, a plecebo at best !
RadelaideGuy: What does the 'H' in Jesus H. Christ stand for?
Howard. ie
Our father, who art in heaven, Howard be thy name....

Yes I always thought if you lose salts from perspiration, you need to put it back again. Thats why animals in the wild will lick salt. Sea salt has lots of good vitamins where table salt is pure sodium which has been stripped of nutrients. Therefore causes heath risks if comsumed too often. Salt has had bad publicity!

True people need salt and fat, otherwise potatoe chips, deep fried and layered with salt/chicken salt, wouldn't be so universally popular but don't you find that sports drinks don't actually quench your thirst?

Yes and if you put seaweed in your grinder with your sea salt it provides your iodine intake.
RadelaideGuy: Haha awesome, thanks for clearing that up.

And remember, cadbury dairy milk chocolate has the goodness of a glass and a half of full cream dairy milk in every 250g block !!

There is a bit of a fad with school kids to get hyped up on energy drinks now, it is scarey what they are pumping into their bodies.Damianowen: And remember, cadbury dairy milk chocolate has the goodness of a glass and a half of full cream dairy milk in every 250g block !!
I just heard yesterday that Cadbury had changed the famous glass and a half recipe!!
Apparently some of it has been substituted with vegetable oil to make the chocolate easier to bite into.Ralf74: I just heard yesterday that Cadbury had changed the famous glass and a half recipe!!

The TL sound is common in the Aztec language but not in Spanish. The Spaniards mispronounced the drink CHOCOLATO.
This drink was brought to Europe (with sugar added) where the pronunciation and spelling in English became CHOCOLATE.
end of my nerdiness....
