Interesting fact about a common nightly phrase...
#languageovertime

[Jason Elsom @JasonElsom]

In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes.

When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase......... "goodnight, sleep tight."

English Language students... Something for you...

We’re charting the language of the body today, and one of the most beautiful of all etymologies:

The ‘pupil’ of the eye is from the Latin ‘pupilla’, ‘little doll’ - when we look into the eyes of another, we see a tiny, doll-like reflection of ourselves.

Chillax, Jafaican, Jedi, nomophobia, omnishambles and simples.

All of these are now real, actual words. They're among the new ones added to the Oxford English Dictionary

A handful of words to soothe this morning:

pluviophile: a lover of rain.
petrichor: the elusive, earthy smell that follows a downpour.
susurrus: the whispering of leaves in the breeze.
spindrift: spray swept up from the waves by the wind.
suspire: to utter with a sigh.
