Re: [CTRL] Poodle Piddle

-Caveat Lector- Practically the entire (traditional) English language is comprised of 'corrupted' words from older tongues. That doesn't make them non-genuine.   However, one imagines the reason why there is no 'genuine' word for Poodle in Arabic may be similar to why there's no 'genuine' word for Haggis in the Navajo language. ;-)   ----- Original Message ----- From: RevCOAL To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 12:49 AM Subject: Re: [CTRL] Poodle Piddle   >So while everyone in Britain knows exactly what is meant by describing >Tony Blair as President Bush's poodle, Arabs are usually baffled.

There isn't, in fact, a genuine ENGLISH word for poodle either; the word is a corruption of the original German name for the breed, 'pudle', the same word from which we get 'puddle'...which hints at the original purpose for the breed, which was as a German water spaniel used for hunting, rather than as a lapdog...
