ETYMOLOGIES
1. A XY refers to an unrealistic hope or fantasy. The allusion is that, it is like the
unlikely Ys experienced by smokers of opium Xs. Opiates were widely used by the
English literati in the 18th and 19th centuries, Samuel Taylor Coleridge being one of
the best known users, as reflected in his works such as Kubla Khan and the Rime of
the Ancient Mariner. The first instance of XY being used was in the Chicago Daily
Tribune in December 1890.
"It [aerial navigation] has been regarded as a X-Y for a good many years."
Id the term.
2. X was a form of military discipline used by officers in the Roman Army to punish
mutinous or cowardly soldiers. The word X is derived from Latin meaning "removal
of a tenth". The earliest documented X was in 471 BC and revived by Crassus in the
LEXICON
WHAT’S THE GOOD WORD

2. war against Spartacus in 71 BC. It involves picking lots. One among every ten would
be then beaten to death by clubs or stones by the other 9.The word now refers to an
extreme reduction in population by a greater number than 1/10th as suggested by the
root of the word. It is also frequently used as a synonym for annihilation.
3. This phrase has its origins from the belief that one animal often kills another animal
by biting the______ in the neck, causing the animal to bleed to death
quickly.________ bring deoxygenated blood from the head back to the heart via the
superior vena cava, resulting in swift death. In modern usage, the phrase means to
attack fiercely in order to have no doubt about winning.
4. Tall ____ may have a tab, loop or handle at the top known as X allowing one to use
fingers or a _____ hook tool to provide greater force in pulling the Xs on. The saying
"to pull oneself up by one's X" was already in use during the 19th century as an
example of an impossible task. X as a metaphor, meaning to better oneself by one's
own unaided efforts, was in use in 1922. Used in computing due to the apparent
paradox that a computer must run code to load anything into memory, but code cannot
be run until it is loaded.
5. The term X was used to refer to women and girls who used to perform a common
household activity. In medieval times, this was one of the few livelihoods available to
a woman in order to live independently of a male wage. However, in time it came to
mean an unmarried woman in general and not necessarily one who performs that
activity.
6. The origin of this term is a highly debated one. The earliest recorded use of the term is
in 1362 and it is used to mean a small, misshapen egg. In "The Reeve's Tale" by
Geoffrey Chaucer (circa 1386) the meaning is "a child tenderly brought up, an
effeminate fellow, a milksop". By 1521 it was in use by country people as a
derogatory reference for the effeminate town-dwellers. There is also an apocryphal
story about the origin of X - A citizen of London, being in the country is said to have
exclaimed "Lord how the horse laughs!". A bystander told him what the "laughing"
actually was. The next morning, when he heard a rooster crowing, to show that he had
not forgotten what he was told the previous day, asked "Does the _____ _____?"
Id X.
