When the bikini became fashionable it recieved perhaps as you can imagine an explosive reactionn, as it was not long before this that people were more or less completly covered up!!
We tend to think of a bomb as a device that has not been around to long but as actually been around since 1588 ( told you I was wide awake in history)so not really a new fangled thing of the last century although saying that only used as a word then !! c.onfused ( good ) like cofusing people.
I am hopeless at lanuages but most words we use originate in other landsand a lot of words originate from THE GREEK , i was useless at FRENCH but lets give this a go
BOMB comes from the word BOMBOS which means a humming sound i have never thought what sound a bomb makes but doubt a humming sound as I think of something which is happy hums
In the swinging 6os the word to bomb out came into being as to fail in somthing but lots of uses of the word bomb such as driving a round in one , or wish I had a bomb (Money) dont take all what I say literally.I have never heard of these two expressions as a long pass in football is a bomb or a mass of Lava!!
Oh well I am practically Bombed out and I dont try to think of EINSTEINS quote
"I do not believe that civilisation will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb'.Perhaps two thirds of the people of the earth will be killed>
Hope I have not worried you and everyone sleeps well and think will of brighter thoughts next time
Louise - where do you get all your knowledge from? was this all internet research or stuff you already knew?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to look into some networks that you can join, so that more people can find your blog. Also, I still haven't had chance to sort the video out, but will do that this weekend and get it over to you to use if you want.
Have a good weekend!
Elaine
