Dear wwh,

The part of the etymology you pasted read: flare to blow.

Flare to blow? What in Sam's Hill does flare to blow mean? What flare? I mean, flair to blow would mean something altogether different and rather funny, as though some kind of talent were involved in blowing, but flare to blow? I don't get this at all...

Best regards,
Wordwacked
