Gossip
Answer
:
Early
politicians
required feedback from the public to determine what the people
considered important.
(What a novel idea).
Since
there were no
telephones, TV's or radios, the politicians sent their assistants to
local taverns, pubs, and bars.
They
were told to
'go sip
some ale' and listen to people's conversations and political concerns.
Many
assistants
were
dispatched at different times.
'You
go sip here'
and
'You go sip there.'
The
two words 'go
sip'
were eventually combined when referring to the local opinion and, thus
we have the term 'gossip.' |
