Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader loves etymology. He particularly loves his Oxford Dictionary of the English Language because of its extensive etymological entries for words. Just as fascinating as word origins are the origins of idoms or idiomatic expressions. It is always fun to read about the history of a phrase. It is espcially fun when the history is written out in a major national newspaper. To wit: see the history of “Who’s Your Daddy?” in the Washington Post.

Carry on.
