#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #December17 #BirthdayCohort with @MillaJovovich & #ChrisMatthews @HARDBALLchris & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #NationalMapleSyrupDay | @HolidaysCalendr @Wikipedia @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar explains the celebrated #MapleSyrup 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)
Maple Syrup (known earlier as #MapleMolasses) is a #Syrup made from the IXylem |Sap of Sugar-, Red- or Black #Maple Trees.
The word “Maple (\ #MapleLeaf #Maples)” is built on ancient words that ... that're used as the name of the Tree (of the genus Acer).
The word “Syrup (\ #Syrupy #Syrupiness #Syrups)” is built on ancient words that mean "he Drank" (compare |Sherbet).
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' ...
