my thoughts exactly haha. It's actually quite amazing how nobody really questions why things are called what they are

Yes! Getting to the bottom of things, going on the thread of history and finding more! I think this requires a curious mind. Like yours. Few maintain the spark of curiosity still burning

I have another post to do now about another word that cropped up at the dive shop bar a while back. I was explaining what a word meant to a guest when they quizzed me about it and it made me think why is it called that. The results were quite a surprise

Oh lovely! Finding the history of a word is exciting!

especially when its origins are from where you are currently at and you never knew. I'll write that one tomorrow i think :)
