On dreich days like these it might cheer you up to know that in 19th-century slang an umbrella was a ‘bumbershoot’.

I've always loved the fact that the word 'sneeze' is the result of a historical accident. The original form, in the Middle Ages, was 'fnese', but someone mistook the 'f' for the long medieval 's' and wrote down 'sn-' instead.

Fneezing sounds much more like a proper, nasal sneeze.

In the vicinity of Ringwood, Hants?
