Where does the expression, "to boot" come from anyway?
It comes from the Old English bot, meaning compensation; related to the Old Norse bot, meaning remedy; and the Old High German buoza, meaning improvement... but what were the Germans high on?
boot
verb (usually impersonal)
1. (archaic) to be of advantage or use to (a person): what boots it to complain?
noun
2. (obsolete) an advantage
3. (dialect) something given in addition, esp to equalize an exchange: a ten pound boot to settle the bargain
4. to boot, as well; in addition: it's cold and musty, and damp to boot
But see how I totally distracted you from the fact that there aren't many pictures and the web site is late?
And, of course, from here I could wander off into insulting words we should bring back like, "zounderkite" (idiot), "fapdoodle" (someone of little significance), "raggabrash" (someone who is absolutely, completely disorganized), or "muckspout" (someone who curses too much). Or I could go with the list of words you shouldn't use when talking: actually, um, well, so, literally, look, awesome, honestly, seriously, totally, basically, essentially, very, like, for what its worth... Which is just another way to distract from how little I really have to say this month...
