Eric: “Considering how many public utterances we see from our various politicians which are meant to be believed by their "base." I felt this was a bit of useful trivia.” Lyr Add: Get Out of the Way! Lyr Add: Clay and Frelinghuysen Lyr Add: DEMOCRATIC ODE Lyr Add: Tip and Ty It's bull's eye trivia if it is. The pol is, no doubt, hoping to inspire a bandwagon effect. Politics & religion are dead center hokum unless you're a believer... and even then for some. Both had hokum style traveling shows. Bread & circus. I should add the 1886 Isle of Wight dictionary cited above is subtitled: “A Treasury of Insular Manners and Customs of Fifty Years Ago.” or c.1836.
