#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #February24 #BirthdayCohort with @BillyZane & #DebraJoRupp @DJRupp & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #NationalTortillaChipDay | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar explains this days celebration of the #TortillaChip in a report linked through 'the hyperlinks' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see '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 into their Foundation)
The Tortilla Chip is a #Chip made of #Tortillas. 😜
The word “Tortillas (/ #Tortilla)” is built on ancient words that mean |Flat Cake (|Torte).
Chip (if not short for Charles or the nickname for a Carpenter ... #Chipped #Chipping #Chips #CornChips #PotatoChips (British #Crisps, a.k.a. (in America) #SaratogaChips) #ChipIn #ChippedBeef #ChipOffTheOldBlock/#ChipOfTheSameBlock #FishAndChips (those 'Chips' being what Americans call 'French Fries)
(... #HaveAChipOnYourShoulder (from when a boy would put a wood-chip on his shoulder and dare another boy to knock it off) #WhenTheChipsAreDown (final bet's raises have been called) is built on ancient words that mean |Sharp Post (same foundation as Small Strip of Wood, |Wagon Pole, Stick, |Stake, |Beam).
I sometimes get a little mind-spark from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that spark 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' ...
This Day's Birthday-Cohort

Or maybe you'd like a reminder of 'where you've seen one of the ones we DO mention'; Ask in your comment!

My Heart of the Nation calendar (which tells me which celebrations we (Catholics) are celebrating, and which color Vestments the clergy are wearing) tells us that this day's in Green
