@Cheddar explains Why #Buses Don't Have #SeatBelts @DefDriving (#CityBuses #SchoolBuses #TransitBuses ... NOT #Busses, thanks @Writing_Class)
The explaining video is linked through 'the main words' below; but first I want to understand those words 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 “Buses” is a shortening of the word #Omnibus, built on- (i.e. actually just a use of-) ancient words that mean For All (the restaurant-sense is built on the Table-Clearer's use of the Four-Wheeled Cart they call a #Bus). #Bused #Busing #MissTheBus (#MissTheOmnibus) #BusBoy #BusmanSHoliday #IntercityBus #TourBus #CityBus #TransitBus
The word “Seat-Belt” is the obvious name for 'the Belt that holds one in one's #Seat (originally used on airplanes to secure the pilots, then in taxicabs).
The word “Seat” is built on ancient words that mean "to Sit" (with extended meanings "the Posterior of one's Body (upon which one Sits)" and then "the Part of an Article of Clothing that Covers the Seat" (i.e. #TheSeatOfYourPants)). #Seated #Seating #BackSeat #DeepSeated #LoveSeat #Reseat #Unseat
Finding out that B-U-S-S-E-S is ... something totally
different, I was introduced to the #Buss ...
The word “Busses” is built on ancient words that are Imitative of one's Lips when Kissing. #Bussed #Bussing
