#HappyBirthday to @JessicaAlba & the @PropertyBrother-s (although @Microsoft only lists @MrDrewScott) & ... you? (in the #April28 #BirthdayCohort) on #Denim Day @NationalToday @_HamptonU | @411Holidays @MySundayMass

So I had a post that I rewrote everyday to replace 'yesterday's birthday-cohort' with 'today's birthday-cohort.' One day I asked myself, 'Why don't I just do an entry for every day (with that day's cohort & holidays & maybe its event-anniversaries)?'

That way I can go back & input new birthdays & events etc. Like today (Denim Day (having very-little to do with the material) ... as well as Great Poetry Reading-, International Guide Dog-, National Blueberry Pie-, National BraveHearts-, National Kids and Pets-, National Superhero-, Stop Food Waste- & Workers' Memorial-Day)

That holiday's explanation is linked through 'the main word' below; but I feel it's more important to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...

The word “Denim” is built on ancient words that mean "From #Nimes (a town in Southern France)" (and later used to refer to any Coarse, Cotton, |Twilled Cloth; and to Pants (usually Over|alls) made of that Material). #Denims 
The place-name "Nimes" is probably built on ancient words that mean "Sanctuary." 
And--in case you're thinking it's some kind of celebration of 'the day Levi Strauss thought it'd be a good material for pants for ranchers'--I'll just say that 'a better name for the day might be "No Means No"-Day' ...
