Tips from 1870 | Usage: How. This word is sometimes used when another would be more appropriate. "He said how he would quit farming." Use that. "Ye see how that not many wise men are called." We must read the Bible as we find it, but in modern English the sentence would be corrected by omitting how. "Be careful how you offend him." If the manner of offending is the thought to be expressed, the sentence is correct. But the true meaning is doubtless better expressed by, "Be careful lest you offend him." Source: Slips of Speech. |

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | FASHION, n. A despot whom the wise ridicule and obey. A king there was who lost an eye In some excess of passion; And straight his courtiers all did try To follow the new fashion. Each dropped one eyelid when before The throne he ventured, thinking 'Twould please the king. That monarch swore He'd slay them all for winking. What should they do? They were not hot To hazard such disaster; They dared not close an eye -- dared not See better than their master. Seeing them lacrymose and glum, A leech consoled the weepers: He spread small rags with liquid gum And covered half their peepers. The court all wore the stuff, the flame Of royal anger dying. That's how court-plaster got its name Unless I'm greatly lying. Naramy Oof |
