Is love nothing?

BEHIND THE WORD:

Why score zero is called love in tennis was a question that kept my eyes wide open gooogling though I am in ……zzzzzz….. mood after a heavy lunch.www.oxforddictionaries.com  banged with two maybe reasons.

Reason 1:l’ouef is the French word for egg.So as love in French refers to egg and egg resembles cipher, I think the point is made.

Reason 2:’to play for love’ is a phrase meaning to play for just fun and not for winning or anything else.So ‘to play for love’ can be taken as ‘to play for nothing’.And thus love became a hint word for nil or nothing.

5'o clock shadow

  BEHIND THE WORD: 5'o clock shadow
        
 A well kept secret is that the world is full of funny and silly  people trying to hide their good own ridiculous humour just like you and me.With a resolution to lose weight ,we carefully plan our dinner and go with the plan but just after dinner we ride our fridge and eat all that in our mind and in the fridge.Everyone I know has the habit of eating in evening and night.
          
           Some of the English people disliked the habit of eating during evening times.They called it 5’o clock tea or 5’o clock dinner.This phrase quickly got into peoples’mind.So Gem safety Razor Company in an intention to popularise their product used this catchy phrase '5'0 clock shadow' to refer to quick regrowing of beard in the evening after a morning shave.And thus a phrase has been added to the English language.

BLUE... BLUE....BLUE

                                                           

ENGLISH NAMES IT AS:

 

Blue Ice:

This is going to be the easiest definition of all.Ice in blue colour is called blue ice.Next time when you look at glaciers (I do, on T.V) ,do a mini search for them.If by any chance you develop questions of hows and whys ,theories of  crystallisation and scattering have to be explained which is beyond the scope of my blog and myself.

Blue Peter:

Blue Peter is a flag in blue colour with a white square at the center hoisted in ship .It indicates that the ship is ready to sail.Is it because the ocean is icy and blue, the flag is coloured in blue and white?

Blue norther:

It is a strong wind (…wizzzzz…….)that flows over Oklahoma,Texas,Kansas and most Temperate zones that rapidly brings the temperature down.Many say that blue could mean cold and icy since people turn blue in cold. Now look at its other names: Blue Blizzard,Blue whistler,Blue darter .

 

 

PROTEUS PHENOMENON

Behind The Word:

Proteus Phenomenon

                           Once again in our blog while speaking of the stories behind the words,we come again (Tan tadan tadan tadan-introduction music) Greek mythology.In Greek mythology,  Proteus was the god of sea.Sea is ever changing.So is proteus or vice versa.Proteus is capable taking any forms.Ever changing stands as a hint for nothing could be stable so that it could be proved.

                           So any early findings that disprove the already established facts is called Proteus phenomenon.This word is frequently used by researchers.Anyone who aspires to be a scientist  can keep this phrase in their mind.Good luck!
