i love books that make me reach for a dictionary or thesaurus. books that expand my mind. books that challenge my way of thinking. it's like taking your imagination on a little adventure and returning with all kinds of treasures once the pages are shut.

We used to post etymologies. We still do, but we used to, too.

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

You probably know that ‘barrio’ came to English from Spanish.

But, you might not know that it came to Spanish from the Arabic word ‘barrī’ which means "of the open country.”

Jukeboxes got their name from places they were associated with: namely jukehouses.

The ‘juke’ in ‘jukehouse’ comes from a verb of Atlantic creole origin, meaning “to jab or poke.”

But other entertainment could also be found at jukehouses, and ‘jukehouse’ was often synonymous with ‘brothel.’

Neither ‘jukebox’ nor ‘juke joint’ suggests such activity today.

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

Jukehouses were also called ‘juke joints’ or simply ‘jukes.’

They were inexpensive places where people could eat, drink, and dance to live music (or jukeboxes).

'Uncharted.'

[Jess Is Goalie Down During The Offseason 🥅 ⚜️ @JessFromThe504]

So, @MerriamWebster, I have a question.

When you’ve doing something you’ve never done before, is it “uncharted territory” or “unchartered territory?”
