arnold layne Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I am fascinated by branding and some advertising. I think people who make money marketing stuff for children must be real slime bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facekicker Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 This week;Benjamin Franklin Been watching this, this week, on YouTube, over and over.It was Sons of Liberty and Dean Norris's portrayal of Benjamin Franklin that got me interested in this random subject; this week.Did you know that he was at one point heavily involved in procuring prostitutes and is responsible for coining the word pimp? Franklin got the word from the French infinitive pimper meaning to dress up elegantly. He was United States Ambassador to France at the time and used the women as a diplomatic tool to influence important men in French society. A firm believer in dressing well when conducting business, he started referring to himself as a pimp due to his demand that any ladies under his watch should similarly look their best so he could get his the maximum return on his investment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterDay7 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 (edited) Current fascination is California, esp LA. Previous fascinations have been crochet and Celtic art. Rubbish at both.Oh, and scrabble but I was crap at that as played against seriously competitive geeks.

Gracii Guns Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I'm fascinated by etymology, and especially love it when we can't find any concrete history of a word.For example, when we make that 'tsk' sound, were actually referencing a medieval crime. There are documents saying that peopl were taken to court for tsking someone- we just don't know what tsking is. Maybe it's the word in itself was just really offensive at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
