Dr. Bill, I thought this one was interesting--I never heard of horse-golf chaugan.

Chicane Chicanery. Now means pettyfogging, using every possible means to gain an end in a contest. Derives from Persian horse-golf chaugan, better known as polo.

I also never knew that Bantam was an area of Java--I never gave much thought to where the name for this small chicken came from. My Tennessee relatives called them "banty" roosters and banty hens.
