The 1919 White Sox, who infamously threw the World Series due to the supposed frugality and pettiness of owner Charles Comiskey, actually had the highest payroll in baseball.

The two starters not indicted, (Schalk and Collins), went on to become Hall of Famers.

A cheetah can purr too. Hmmm... is a mountain lion bigger than a cheetah?

The word “posh” is know for stylish or elegant per dictionary.

Posh became a word due to the boats traveling south from England centuries ago. If you were on that boat, you wanted to view the land for the scenery on the way out and way back.

Therefore, you wanted to get a room on the Port side out and Starboard side home.

Port
Out
Starboard
Home

P.O.S.H.

These rooms were more expensive and nicer. Posh accommodations became a thing because of this.



OHHHh! Now tell us where shite comes from

The "x" on the end of Cajun French names such as Boudreaux, Arceneaux, etc. was added after the Catholics in Louisiana took down census data. When the exiled Cajuns were told to sign next to their name, they could only simply "make their mark" which was just an x.


I thought adding an "x" to the end of French words ending in "eau" was just the way to pluralize the word
