Bail up was originally used to describe part of the process of fixing harness on bullock teams. It required a person to raise both arms to do up the straps. It came to mean "Stop and put up your hands" to the bushrangers, and is the Australian equivalent of the highwaymen‚s "Stand and Deliver", or the American "Stick em Up." Yes. The Wild Colonial Boy was not actually a Colonial.

Dooce is a typo of dude, or dooooode!, one that I often made over and over again when having Instant Message conversations with co-workers. Some experts will tell you that it means "getting fired for something you've written on your website," but what it really means is CANNOT RESIST THE CAPS-LOCK KEY.

Lou Montulli, currently the protocols manager in Netscape's client product division, wrote the cookies specification for Navigator 1.0, the first browser to use the technology. Montulli says there's nothing particularly amusing about the origin of the name: 'A cookie is a well-known computer science term that is used when describing an opaque piece of data held by an intermediary. The term fits the usage precisely; it's just not a well-known term outside of computer science circles.'"

undertaking is a permissible type of bail security. The taking of bail consists of a competent court accepting an undertaking of sufficient security for the appearance of the defendant, according to the terms, or the surety will pay a specified sum to the state. Corporate sureties are commonly used, and the court will accept an admitted surety insurer's bail bond if executed by the insurer's licensed bail agent and issued in the insurer's name by an authorized person.

Bail in a traffic court case is the amount the court has set as a cash deposit that must be paid to the court before a person may be released from custody (or a trial date set). It is effectively a deposit to ensure that you will return to court. Bail can be paid to the court in cash, or a defendant can hire a bail bond company to post bail for them. When a bail bond company is used, the company charges a fee to use their own resources to post the bail amount.

Hemingway took "For Whom The Bell Tolls" from "Meditation 17" of John Donne's (1572-1631) work Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions. The tolling of the bell refers to the act of ringing a bell (the death knell) at a funeral to indicate that someone has died. Hemingway is drawing a parallel between the death of one person and the consequent affect on everyone, and the loss of Spain to the fascists in the Spanish Civil War.

The popular story is that during World War II, a military general visited one of the many airship stations operated by the U.S. Navy. Trying to find out what material an airship was made from, he tapped his finger against the fully pressurized envelope of a non-rigid Navy airship. The general described the sound he heard, "blimp," and blimps have been called blimps ever since.

A7: "Fiduciary duty" is the highest responsibility imposed by our civil law. It is a trust law concept, which requires that the fiduciary place the interests of the "beneficiaries" above that of his own. Under this fundamental legal concept, there is absolutely no room for any kind of self-interest of the fiduciary that would conflict with those of the beneficiary. The beneficiary's interests are said to be paramount. A8: Yes.

John Lennon and his friend Stuart Sutcliffe came up with the name "Beatles", a pun on Buddy Holly's "Crickets", in 1960.

Plycon is a name that evokes dread in most of the players of my long running (now defunct) AD&D campaign. It's a name for a particularly not so nice NPC that dominated much of the last parts of the campaign story line. When we first opened our computer store, we went with the name as part of an in-joke for the group of my friends who invested in our start-up enterprise. It's proven to be memorable with customers, and certainly stands out! ;-)

I'll qualify the answers to these questions by saying that they're based on very cursory research. It is well known that Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II (1741-1790), who was one of the so-called "enlightened monarchs", ordered Jews in Galicia to adopt fixed, hereditary surnames. Prior to that time, Ashkenazic Jews other than Kohanim, Levites, and certain rabbinical families used patronymic surnames, which would obviously change from generation to generation.

Probably the earliest usage, as applied to music though was by Anthony H. Wilson (Joy Division manager) who was overcome by a rare moment of lucidity on a 1978 BBC TV program when he described Joy Division as Gothic compared with the pop mainstream. How 'Goth' and 'Gothic' came to be used to describe the movement though is a little less clear. What is certain is that NME and Sounds used it, and there seem to be two suggestions as to where they got it from.

Daniel Webster, currently creating a catalogue of words for the common use of the King of England in 1826, wrote the colloquial phrase, "given thou flippant". At the time there was nothing particularly amusing about the origin of the phrase. A concubine is a well-known woman of the night used by men in power. And Webster used the phrase to make fun of the King and his weakness towards lechery.

According to one FAQ: "The prevailing theory is that it is from the song in Monty Python's famous spam-loving Vikings sketch that goes, roughly, 'Spam spam spam spam, spam spam spam spam, spam spam spam spam...' The Vikings would sing this over and over, rising in volume until it was impossible for the other characters in the sketch to converse (which was, of course, a large part of the joke.
