Holy word origins, Batman!
So, I'm watching Jeopardy, like I do most week nights @ 7pm, and there's a category named 'Word and Phrase Origins.' The answers were mostly of Greek or Latin origin.
Cool, I'm learning a few words.
The $2000 answer said 'These two words were combined in the 1970 to form the word ebonics.'
The answer is . . . .
Ebony and Phonics.
What.
The.
F*CK.
I'm sorry, am I the only one who is shocked, appalled and a little disgusted by that? Not at Jeopardy. I love me some Trebek lol But wow. Ebony? Whoa. Did anyone else know this? Maybe I'm new to the party but that's the first time I've ever heard that.
