Will @Bing tell us what #KissingOnTheHand has to do with #CatholicDoctrine? #Baisemain & #Baius (respectively)
When Microsoft Rewards asked me a trivia question about 'Baise-mains,' it then brought me to a search-result (which you can access through 'the emboldened link(s)' below) whose answer also included a description of 'the doctrine of Baius'; I'll probably find what connects those two very-different-sounding topics, 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 ... where I'll probably find the information I'm looking-for anyway)
The word “Baisemains” is built on words that mean "Kiss + Beckoner (Hand)."
#BaiseMain
The word “Baius” (which Etymonline tells us we might have mistaken for "Bliss" 😏) is built on ... well, there was the Helmsman of The Odysseus (but who doesn't appear in Homer's Odyssey), who had at least one village named after him;
but I think the Catholic doctrine is named after the theologian Michael Baius (who formulated #Baianism---the doctrine that (in so-many words) each generation should interpret Scripture directly (without the influence of any other interpretation)), whose surname is built on ancient words that mean "Bay (they also say his surname was originally 'de Bay'), Laurel" (those are the meanings of the given name Baius, but I imagine they hold for the surname).

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
