Daily Trivia Fix
Fact of the Day
President Benjamin Harrison and the first lady never touched the light switches themselves when electric lights were installed during the renovation of the White House in 1891. Fearing shock, they would call for a servant whenever they wanted the lights on or off.
Quote of the Day
"Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food and tyrannize their teachers."
-Socrates
Word of the Day
bravura
Pronunciation: /brav-OORA/
adj : technically difficult
"The symphony included a bravura movement for the musicians."

and for Higher.... my Brit sweetie.....
British Fact of the day...
Robin Hood is one of the great English folk heroes, yet there is no real evidence that he actually existed. It may be that he is a ballad character expressing popular resentment of medieval injustices.
British Slang
British slang stems from Shakespeare to Chaucer and encompasses nearly every generation of human speech. From Cockney rhyming slang to short-lived colloquialisms, England contains a mixture of euphenisms that often leave Americans scratching their heads.
an example:
Bussing = Kissing
Belt up = Shut up (although yours seems nicer than ours)
So Higher..... busses to you!!

Here is a very sad rememberance of this day:
1986 - At 1:23 a.m. in Pripyat, Ukraine, the Chernobyl atomic power station exploded. In an attempt to save the 100,000 people living in the area from radiation poisoning, a three-hundred-square-mile area was evacuated. Still, 31 people died and unknown thousands were exposed as the radioactive material spread through the world, carried in the atmosphere.
and a very good one too:
1994 - South Africa held its first all-race elections for the national assembly and provincial parliaments.

What is Cockney Rhyming Slang?
'Allo me old china - wot say we pop round the Jack. I'll stand you a pig and you can rabbit on about your teapots. We can 'ave some loop and tommy and be off before the dickory hits twelve.
or, to translate
Hello my old mate (china plate) - what do you say we pop around to the bar (Jack Tar). I'll buy you a beer (pig's ear) and you can talk (rabbit and pork) about your kids (teapot lids). We can have some soup (loop de loop) and supper (Tommy Tucker) and be gone before the clock (hickory dickory dock) strikes twelve.
The origins of Cockney Rhyming Slang are uncertain. It's not really a language since the words spoken are clearly English; on the other hand, it's not a dialect either, since the speakers of this slang are also perfectly capable of not using it! Some stories go that this slang originated in the market place so that the vendor's could communicate without the customers knowing what was being said - you wouldn't want your customers knowing that you were going to lower your prices in ten minutes so you could go home early. Other stories have it that it originated in the prisons so that inmates could talk without the guards listening in. I recently heard from Bob King that "it was born shortly after Sir Robert Peel introduced and implemented his idea for a Police force. The criminal fraternity had never been faced with such a concerted effort to thwart them, so they developed Cockney Slang, the idea of which being that, two or more criminals could hold open conversation, within earshot of a "Peeler," without fear that their plans were being overheard by the police."_ And Jackie says that many of the rhymes were invented by the petty thieves to rob people in the markets, allowing the thieves to talk amongst themselves without anyone knowing what they were talking about
It doesn't really matter where it comes from - the important thing is that it exists today just as it has for many, many years and can provide a wonderful, colourful language in everyday life.
It is very difficult to describe what Rhyming Slang is without using an example, but I'll give it a try. Basically, you take a pair of associated words (e.g. fish hook), where the second word rhymes with the word you intend to say, then use the first word of the associated pair to indicate the word you originally intended to say. Usually. And some slang words have more than one meaning (for example, iron can be a bank (Iron Tank) or a homosexual (Iron Hoof - this rhymes with poof which is a particularly English expression for homosexuals), so context is everything! There - clear as mud.
Let's use an example: From the example listed above, you are talking about a book. The rhyme is "fish hook", so the slang expression is fish, as in "I'd like to say a word about the new fish by Len Deighton" except, of course, a real Cockney would more likely say "I've got a dickie about Deighton's new fish"; dickie is from dickie bird (i.e. word). Doesn't really clear things up at all, does it? Imagine a conversation like this:
"Got to my mickey, found me way up the apples, put on me whistle and the bloody dog went. It was me trouble telling me to fetch the teapots."
which really means,
"Got to my house (mickey mouse), found my way up the stairs (apples and pears), put on my suit (whistle and flute) when the phone (dog and bone) rang. It was my wife (trouble and strife) telling me to get the kids (teapot lids)."
