Cicero - Top 10 Quotes
Cicero - Top 10 Quotes
A while back we published a quote attributed to Cicero. 
 
We must confess that when we did it we thought, "Is this really true? - Well fancy that".
 
Now we hear that Cicero was "fitted up" by a third party with a hidden agenda.
 
Unable to argue the merits of his/her case in his/her own words he/she chose to enlist the "great minds think alike" theme and attribute the words to Cicero.
 
Chances are he never said the words, because they sprang from the pen of Ms Taylor Caldwell in 1965 in a book called "A Pillar of Iron". There we find word for word the quote attributed to Cicero. And nowhere else in history have they been found.
  
Then again, maybe Ms Caldwell was also psychic and simply channelled the words of her hero.

From Whence That Word? 

Hoodlum


THE WORD HOODLUM

Was originally used to describe a misbehaved child, a loafer, or a rowdy street kid, but more recently, it came to refer to a small-time criminal, thug, or gangster. The shortened form hood is first recorded about 1880, though it wasn't in common use until the late 1920s.

The most plausible theory was suggested in 1935 by Dr. J. T. Krumpelmann. Explaining that the Germans constituted the largest foreign-language group in San Francisco, he derives hoodlum from the German (Bavarian) dialectal term Hudellump, Hodalump, meaning 'ragamuffin, good-for-nothing'.

But according to Charles Earle Funk (and other sources), hoodlum was the accidental coinage of a newspaper reporter. In a story about a gang of ruffians led by a fellow named Muldoon, the reporter spelled the name as Noodlum to avoid reprisals. The newspaper's compositor misinterpreted the name as Hoodlum.
