86. Iroquois Creation Story - Word Origins word origins and Pronunciation The word I used most often is Haudenoshaunee.That is the accepted ENGLISH (phonetic) spelling of http://collections.ic.gc.ca/curriculum/iroquois/origin.htm

Digital Collections Word Origins and Pronunciation The word I used most often is Haudenoshaunee. That is the accepted ENGLISH (phonetic) spelling of the word meaning the Iroquois of the Confederacy. To spell it in the language is to spell it Hotinon:shonni - I chose not to use it because it would be difficult for some people to pronounce. In the Mohawk language it is spelled and pronounced as Rotinon:shonni. These three words all mean the same thing. The first use of the word, Haudenoshaunee, is pronounced as it is spelled. I also made use of the word Kanienkehaka - that means people of the flint, or Mohawk. I have only seen it spelled in Mohawk I have never seen an English (phonetic) version of the word. Although, if I were to do so, I would spell it, Ganiengehaga. Now, Kanienkeha, a shorter word, means the place of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte or Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory (same place). If spelled according to English sounds, it would look like this: Ganiengeha. Iroquois is arguably a French word meaning something approximate to snake people, or snake eaters. It is a word chosen by other people long ago to describe us. I have used Mohawk and Confederacy words in this unit, as they are accurate and relevant, and are how we are referred to day. However, the difference must be shown between the English words that have been used to describe us in the past (and present), and our own words for our own people. These were the words used before contact, and have survived since contact with Europeans. Students need to know the difference as any research they may do now or in the future will depend on the various names they know for the Haudenoshaunee.

Sicilian Culture sicilianculture.com Please support this site by shopping at Mafia Word Origins "The word Mafia became known throughout Italy for the first time in 1863, when a Sicilian writer, Giuseppe Rizzotto [sicaccording to Hess, Rizzotti e Mosca, 2], wrote a play entitled "I Mafiusi di La Vicaria" which went through 2,000 performances, over a period of 23 years, of which 34 in the Italian language, in Rome alone, in 1884. "According to Gaetano Mosca, the word mafia cannot be found in any Sicilian dictionary before 1868, when it was entered as a neologism in Traina's "Sicilian-Italian Dictionary."In another dictionary, Mortillaro's, published in 1878, the word is said to be of Piedmontese origin and to be synonymous with camorra. However, this is not correct. "The adjective mafiusu (mafioso, in Italian) has been common in Sicily for at least two hundred yers. Cesareo, the poet, found the following verses in an eighteenth century manuscript: Quannu vinisti vui, piciotta bedda tutta la briaria si ribiddau chi l'anncilu, bedd' ancilu purtau.

My understanding was this: Prior to the Reformation, when someone was caught in the sin of fornication, they were placed in the stocks for a prescribed period of time, and had the acronym for the words: "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" (F.U.C.K.) branded on either their forehead or their tongue, I don't remember which. Other interesting term origins: I believe it was during the Black Plague in Europe that they began to run out of cemetery space. So they started digging up old graves and reusing them. When they did this, they discovered that some of those previously buried were found in different positions than they would have been laid in. The realisation was that these people had been buried alive. So, it became a common practice to attach a string to the newly deceased's hand when they were buried, and run this string up through the earth to the surface to a stick with a bell attached. If the person regained consciousness, they would pull the string and ring the bell. They were termed a "dead ringer." It was also common to have a person wait by the grave for the first night after burial to listen for the bell. This person worked the "graveyard shift."

The caboodle in this American expression meaning " the whole lot" is the same as the word boodle, for "a pile of money", deriving from the Dutch boedal, " property". The whole kit, of course, means the entire outfit. The phrase doesn't read " the whole kit and boodle" because Americans like alliteration in speech and added a "k" sound before boodle in the phrase.

98. Polkaorigin Article on the contenders for the origins of the word polka and the dance it denotes. http://www.polamjournal.com/Library/APHistory/polkaorigin/body_polkaorigin.html

The Origin of the Word Polka by Robert Pula Much confusion has developed over the meaning of the term "polka" and the origin of the dance the term represents. In both instances, the prime contenders for the origin of both the term and the dance are the Poles and the Czechs, counterclaims that are not sufficiently explored even in contemporary works such as Victor Greene's recent A Passion for Polka: Old-Time Ethnic Music in America (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1992). Supporting the Polish origins in the fifth edition of Grove's (1954, Vol. III, p. 333), the noted musicologist Czeslaw R. Halski states that "The polka [Polish girl] is undoubtedly of Polish origin. This dance is extremely popular throughout the country, though in some regions it goes under different names such as szot przodek , or oryl. In the majority of regions, however, it is so dearly beloved that some odd and descriptive sobriquets are added to its name, such as 'polka-kokietka' [coquette polka]

100. Biblevotes Claims that The Bible was not handed to mankind by God, nor was it dictated to human stenographers by God. It has nothing to do with God. In actuality, the Bible was VOTED to be the word of God by a group of men during the 4th century. Deist perspective. http://www.deism.com/biblevotes.htm

THE BIBLE'S UNHOLY ORIGINS by Robert L. Johnson Many rank and file Christians sincerely believe the Bible is a direct communication from God to man. I know I used to believe it was when I was a Christian. And from recent conversations with many sincere Christians I know this is currently true for many believers. Once it is proven to our God-given reason that the Bible is strictly a man-made collection of mythology the mind loses yet another shackle of "revelation" and is soon on its way to full freedom and progress. The Bible was not handed to mankind by God, nor was it dictated to human stenographers by God. It has nothing to do with God. In actuality, the Bible was VOTED to be the word of God by a group of men during the 4th century. According to Professor John Crossan of Biblical Studies at DePaul University the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great (274-337 CE), (a bust of Constantine is pictured below) who was the first Roman Emperor to convert to Christianity, needed a single canon to be agreed upon by the Christian leaders to help him unify the remains of the Roman Empire. Until this time the various Christian leaders could not decide which books would be considered "holy" and thus "the word of God" and which ones would be excluded and not considered the word of God. Emperor Constantine, who was Roman Emperor from 306 CE until his death in 337 CE, used what motivates many to action -
