The real origin of the word blog?
While I know the real history of the word blog*, I’ve found a word that’s too refreshingly close, in meaning and spelling, to be a total cosmic coincidence: blague. On December 29**, in my Forgotten English calendar, the word of the day was blague, with one definition given as “a facility of speech not of a very high order; humbug, fib, chaff.”
I don’t think I’m reading or writing any blog(s) full of lies, but I’ll be the first to admit that this blog, at least, isn’t always (ever?) full of “speech” of a “very high order” — you’ll have to enjoy or tolerate what you get, in my limited free time.
