Hey Everybody, its The #DogDaysOfSummer from #July3 to #August11! #DidYouKnow #WhyTheyCallitThat? @Bing tells us (it's not what /I/ thought, but @Wikipedia /et al./ Confirm it!)
If the image doesn't 'give away' the explanation, I further discuss the explanation in a paying forum you can access through 'the emboldened link(s)' 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)
They're called The Dog Days of Summer because of the rising & setting of Sirius (The Dog Star, the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major) in the night sky.
The word “Scorch” (meaning of a word in the foundation beneath 'Sirius') is built on ancient words that mean "to Shrink, Dry up" or maybe Ex- + "Cork" or maybe "to Strip the Skin from-."
