#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #November3 #BirthdayCohort with @KendallJenner & #ColinKaepernick @Kaepernick7 & the rest of #TheFamousPeople) on #Housewife Day @NationalToday | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
National Today explains Housewife Day in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
The Housewife (or #Huswif, originally pronounced #Huzzif; originally synonymous with #Hussy) is the #Wife who supports her Husband by taking care of the House (Cleaning, Taking Care of the Children, Handling Minor Maintenance) while Hubby is Earning their Living.
The word “Wife (\ #Midwife #Fishwife #Alewife #Goodwife #Wife-Beater #Wifely #Wive #Wives #OldWivesTale #Housewives)” is built on “an abbreviation of the word for Woman (the full word resembling the phrase With Man)” (Girl, |Babe, Female Person, woman of |Gentle Birth, |Lady; to Twist, Turn, |Wrap (|Vibrate, Veil); Shame, Spouse, Mistress of a Household).
I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...
Today's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Scorpio ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: comedian Bert Kreischer, SNL-alum Dennis Miller, Kendall Jenner, Dolph Lundgren, Roseanne Barr, Colin Kaepernick, radio-host Shadoe Stevens, Michael Dukakis ...
... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---
Tell me about any of today's birthdays who're famous to you (and where we
should've heard of them).
Do I mention any you haven't heard-of? Ask me about them in the comments!
