But why news? Your slicing the directions on a Diaganal line, increasing the thought process needed to remember it. Wouldn't a complete circle be more effecient?

Or have I just completly over shot your point. :)

it's totally false. I've had people try and tell me that since Grade school

"news" comes from "new" - which is originally derived from ancient Greek - "neo"

as in "neophyte" = a beginner, or novice - 'nov' being the Latin derivation of 'neo' - novel = new

some people like to make up little acronyms to make sense of things, that's all

haha. no. it's the product of someone's imagination - no more, no less. people like to play around with words and look for patterns. people like catchy patterns. this can lead them to read into coincidences

it's an heuristic - an intutive judgement to make sense of something unknown to that person

another example of fallacious reasoning: feminists who say... "Instead of being taught History, we want to learn about Her story"

cute. but in terms of etymology it is just silly. "history" is not derived from the English words "his story", "his" implying male ownership. it comes from ancient Greek - historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation"

but why let facts get in the way of a clever play on words?

same thing with the Nation of Islam - they are full of apocryphal acronyms - confusing linguistics and history in order to make sense of words as they see fit.

they say Allah means Arm Leg Leg Arm head - but they are disregarding the fact that the real origin is Arabic and very ancient, predating those English words

the Arabic term Allah means "Al ilah " Al meaning "the" ilah meaning "God". so Allah mean "the God", which, in context of monotheistic Islam came to mean "the *only* God"

this term was used in pre-Islamic Semitic cultures centuries before Mohammed was even born. so this A.L.L.A.H. acronym is just something dreamed up by some American neo-Islamic 'scholars'

Five Percenters love those acronyms too =) the Rza is full of em

so peace is "Protons Electrons Always Cause Explosions" and cream = "Cash Rules Everything Around Me"

lol - I was just studying linguistics and cognitive neuroscience in school. I find the origin of words and how our brains choose to interpret them really interesting

I still say it's True... Obviously other people have thought of that but it came to me just like that (not from a Google search) and it makes sense... So I say it's true cause all those other acronyms are total fluff compared to this one...

well... it's not true. lol. News comes new, neo (greek ) - > novum (Latin ) nova (Latin plural) - v and w are interchangable - this then got corrupted in Old and Middle English into "news"

fair enuff... the acronyms I gave were fluff compared to that. I was just showing how people have a silly tendency to make up acronyms that only have meaning to them.

a more relevant example is this: "posh" - this is a famous one.. maybe almost as well known as the news one

some people claim the word posh comes from the 19th century British empire. they say it is an acronym for "Port Out Starboard Home"

it referred to British people sailing to India and the British colonies in SE Asia. so the story goes, the wealthiest travellers could afford to travel on the shady sheltered side of the ship en route to India and back to England, thus, the port out, starboard home.

this supposedly got abbreviated on the ticket to P.O.S.H. and over time, just became posh - a word associated with the priviledged upper crust

it seems to make sense, but it's not true. people didn't even commonly get round-trip tickets to India back then. It took weeks to get there and people usually stayed in India for a long time.

it turns out the word posh was brought to England by the Gypsies hundreds of years ago. it meant "half-pence" in Romani.

long before the colonization of India, some British people picked up the Gypsy word and used it as slang for money, and then later, something that costs a lot of money, or people who have a lot of money.
