ETYMOLOGY: After Piccadilly Circus, a busy area in London where several roads meet. The area has tourist attractions, entertainment, shopping, and large illuminated ads. A circus here means a traffic roundabout, but what about Piccadilly? It’s named after a tailor who made a fortune selling piccadill/pickadill, a lace collar popular in the 16th and 17th centuries. The American equivalent of the term is Grand Central Station (a train station in New York City), though for look and feel Times Square (also in NYC) would be closer. ______________________________ PICK A DILLY CIRCUS - select a doozy PISCADILLY CIRCUS - a compilation of tall tales and other unlikely yarns about the ones that got away PICARD ILL; Y CIRCUS - Starship Captain is indisposed, and the club is is providing entertainmenet 817 710,928 Read More Wordplay and fun HAIRCAT - feline with very long, silky fur wofahulicodoc 05/28/23 02:16 AM HAIRCUT PRONUNCIATION: {HAIR-kuht) MEANING: noun: A reduction in value. ETYMOLOGY: From Old English hǣr + Middle English cutten. Earliest documented use: 1955. NOTES: The term haircut is used metaphorically in many ways, such as when assessing the value of an asset pledged as collateral against a loan. For example, a bank might decide that an asset worth $1000 could take a 20% haircut and thus be used to secure a loan of at most $800. The term is also used for other reductions: a pay cut, a cut in benefits, a reduction in the repayment of a loan, etc. _____________________________ FAIRCUT - an equitable division HAIR CUTE - that's a fetching new "do" you just got "HA" IS CUT - all the humor has been removed from my production 817 710,928 Read More Wordplay and fun SWAP SONG - important function of a Hootenanny wofahulicodoc 05/28/23 02:02 AM SWAN SONG PRONUNCIATION: (SWAN song) MEANING: noun: A farewell or final performance, appearance, or accomplishment.
