A murder, especially in secret. 2. A fine paid for a murder. ETYMOLOGY: From Latin murdrum (murder), from Old French murdre (murder). Earliest documented use: 1290. NOTES: Before England went around colonizing the world, they were colonized/conquered by Romans, Angles/Saxons/Jutes, Vikings, and Normans. The locals vented by killing their new lords. So the law came down that any murder of a Norman was to result in a heavy fine for the whole village. On the other hand, if the person killed was an Englishman or an Englishwoman: pas de problème. This fine was known as murdrum. ____________________________ CURD-RUM - a beverage made from fermented milk SUR DRUM - the cymbal on top of the Bass Drum in l'Orchestre de Paris MUR DEUM - the Sacred Wall in Rome Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter popularized by Walt Disney wofahulicodoc #229605 09/02/19 02:56 PM Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 10,365 Likes: 1 Worcester, MA W wofahulicodoc OP Carpal Tunnel OP wofahulicodoc Carpal Tunnel W Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 10,365 Likes: 1 Worcester, MA UNBIRTHDAY PRONUNCIATION: (uhn-BUHRTH-day) MEANING: noun: A day other than one’s birthday.
