#DidYouKnow #July14 is also a #HappyBirthday to #KyleGass @GassLeak & @Franklin_Graham & the rest of the #BirthdayCohort of #NationalNudeDay | @411Holidays @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass
Happy 'whichever of these holidays & or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Google Arts & Culture explains 'the difference between #Nude & #Naked' in a report linked through 'those words' below; but first I want to understand those words 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 word “Nude” is built on ancient words that mean "Naked, #Bare."

And--since I want this to be 'roots of the words' and not
"synonyms of the words"--
The word "Naked" is built on ancient words that mean #Bare (words that are also in the foundation of Gymnasium).
#Nakedness #TheNakedTruth #NakedAsaJaybird #NakedAsaRobin #NakedAsaWorm #NakedAsaNeedle #NakedEye #Nake #Nakedly
The word "Bare" is built on ancient words that mean (I shoulda guessed it) #Naked (also adopting the senses of |Sheer, Absolute, Complete in Itself).

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 Cancer ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Kyle Gass (of Tenacious D), animator William Hanna, Pastor Franklin Graham, fictional policeman Jim Gordon, President Gerald Ford, Phoebe Waller-Bridge (FLEABAG), Harry Dean Stanton, Jane Lynch, Ingmar Bergman, Woody Guthrie, comedian (& DAILY POP-er) Loni Love, (typecast as a mafioso) Vincent Pastore ... and lots more I don't recognize (maybe you do recognize some ... you can find the date at the birthday-cohort link)
(and--if you or someone you know about has a birthday today
--please mention them (and how you know them or -know
about them) in the comments, thanks)
