What's in a Name?

Do you ever spend time wondering why things are called what they are called? I do. I probably spend (waste) a lot of time on the matter. But every once in awhile I make a breakthrough, which makes it worth all the time I devote to (waste on) the matter.

For example, the other day I figured out why twins are called twins.

I said to myself, 'twins.'

'Twins.'

'Tw-wins.'

'Tw-Wins.'

And then it hit me - say "Two Wins" really fast - what do you get - YES - "Twins"!!

And that's exactly how it must have happened. The first time a caveman and cavewoman saw two cavebabies come out, the mom must have said, "Oh my gosh!! Two little angels?! I was blessed with two little angels?! At the SAME TIME?! Oh, lucky me!!!! That's 2 wins. Yes!! Two wins!! Hey, two-wins, ahh, fitting, I shall call you Twins!"



The dad thought, "TWO?? I have to take care of TWO????? At the SAME TIME??!?!? Club me now..."
