While reading a non-fiction (and non-political) book in my Kindle a few days ago, I came across the word "trumpery" -- which is from the Middle French, a few hundred years ago. Here is the definition from the on-line Merriam-Webster dictionary: 1 a : worthless nonsense b : trivial or useless articles and from dictionary.com : noun, plural trumperies. 1. something without use or value; rubbish; trash; worthless stuff. 2. nonsense; twaddle: His usual conversation is pure trumpery. How aptly named can a guy be? Don't believe me? Look it up... Isn't/wasen't his real sur-name, Drumf?, sumpin like that? Dude, Names change, Lee Marvin's given name was Marvin Lee. Guy Madison saw a Dolly Madison cake delivery van in Hollywood/whatever. He changed his name (I don't reckymember what it was before) ( www.imdb.com ) to Guy Madison. DOG is GOD spelled backwards. |
