Something I did not know—the word boycott comes from a person’s name: Captain Charles Boycott.

Very interesting. What other words are based solely off a name.

[Rylan]

There are a lot I am sure. But as Gaucho said, etymology is extremely fun.

[Gaucho]

Can't think of any, tbh.

Also a Teddy Bear is named after Teddy Roosevelt.

There are a lot of eponymous words, most named after explorers, inventors or scientists - sandwich, zamboni, Pittsburgh, America.

The word 'guy' came from Guy Fawkes.

Colt, Remington, Kleenex, Pampers, Diesel, Watt, Ampere, Newton... not really the same as Boycott, is it?

[KennyTheKangaroo]

the term "mercurial" was derived from the Mercurio (sp?) character in romeo and juliet

I think it was derived from "Mercury", not Mercutio.

Oh, says here Kate is in (the) hospital for something called hyperemesis gravidarum, which is like morning sickness x 1,000. She was probably ready to keel over on the field. /gossip



I can't imagine. I'm pretty tough, with a high threshold for pain. But vomiting makes me beg to be put in a medically induced coma.

I was hoping for a DMX bark (there is no proper way to type that out)

I just noticed something. I know it's the same station and the same DJ, but he's wearing the same shirt in the DMX vs Google video.



I would think they filmed this on the same day, but why would DMX be singing Christmas Carols in the summer?

[JS©]

just noticed she's wearing the same thing as she was in the first video. They had DMX singing Rudolph in September?!?

Greatest renditrion of any Christmas song ever.

I assisted. I hit one with a high shoulder shot and it ran past my dad. He took care of the rest. 13 point non typical in eastern Ohio. 21" spread, not real high or heavy, but still a nice buck. Got 139 lbs of meat of him. Has weird triple brow tines, will post a pic when I get back from the Eric Church/Justin Moore/Kip Moore show in Kentucky tomorrow.

As promised. Spoiler because it's huge.

He's the reason I don't take the bus? LOL, I guess so.

Hard to see in the pic, but it has triple brow tines on both sides, they go up and fork, each spur is about 3" long and there is a 2" spur projecting from the base of the brow tines. Weird deer, really white rack and was young, teeth were barely worn down.

If you think that one is good, check out this one that my buddy shot near where the Ohio State Record Buck came from.

Had to help someone who was having a heart-attack out of his seat on the train, 15 minutes later at the next station he was still not responding. Totally bizarre experience.
