Whitewater refers to the Whitewater Development Agency which was investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission for wrong doing.  The Clintons had invested and lost money in the project and their political foes tried to link them to the alleged criminal activity without success.

Many of the entomology's will say it is from late french writing about prostitutes.  But I don;t buy it.\n\nSeveral years ago I was reading an early (1st century) roman text. It had the a word similar to pornia or pornios or in it. ( I can't remember and it wasn't important to what I was doing) I tried to find the word in dictionaries but it wasn't there. It was obvious from the context the word had something to do with pictures. The current Latin dictionaries do not have any words for picture or anything like it. If you go back to roman ruins you can see that they had the most extensive art it the history of the world to that point, and no word for "picture" ? (" pictura" latin for paint is the root of our word picture but Romans had pictures as well and where is that word?) \n\n I stick with a Latin root I am willing to bet no one has done the necessary footwork to document it. Pictures of sex have been around for a couple of thousand years and the Romans didn't miss a beat when it came to anything of perversion or commerce. \n\nThe late 19th century explanation is just plain wrong. The word is much older than that.

This is what I found: "It sounds as if this expression for surviving or overcoming nearly insuperable obstacles ought to have a nautical origin, doesn’t it? But there’s no evidence to support that.\n\nIt appears in print around the beginning of the twentieth century. The first example I’ve found is from 1901, but there is a substantial set in the books and newspapers later in that decade, showing that it had by then become widely known. The first form that appears is hell and high water; the form you give, which is now standard, comes along several decades later, together with through hell and high water and variations.\n\nThe setting of many of the earliest examples strongly point to cattle ranching as the origin, in particular the driving of cattle to railheads in the mid West in the latter part of the nineteenth century. In 1939 Paul Wellman published a book with the title Trampling Herd: the Story of the Cattle Range in America in which he wrote: “ ‘In spite of hell and high water’ is a legacy of the cattle trail when the cowboys drove their horn-spiked masses of longhorns through high water at every river and continuous hell between.”\n\nAn article about an old-time cattleman that appeared in the Washington Post in November 1905 supports this: “He prospered in those palmy days until he became the largest cattle owner in the territory and felt able to take his regular blowout in St Louis, until 1884, when, between the alien land law, drought and rustlers, the “hell and high water of the cattlemen,” he ... walked out of the Kansas City stock yards a few hundred thousand dollars worse off and no cattle worth putting an iron on, much less pulling grass by hand to feed.”"

I don't know all of them, but the first one refers to someone putting their dog (named Jip) in the bathtub and running water in the hopes that he'll pee inside and they won't have to walk him on the icy streets. \n\nAndover is a school, I think (also a town in Massachusets with a big school- I think it's MIT)\n\nNot worth two shakes of a mare's tail-- not worth much, but I don't know the origin of the phrase. \n\nI hope someone else knows the rest.  Good Luck!!

White:  I'm not offended when I see it any more than I would be offended by someone wearing a T-Shirt that said "I'm dumber than a box of rocks"\n\nTo have it flying above state capitals and such is a public display of stupidity on behalf of the leaders of that state.\n\nRemember:  It is the symbol of a defeated movement (quasi "nation") born of bigotry and inhuman treatment of equals for personal gain.  The ideology was wrong, as was the cause and why they ultimately lost.

I got one too. If its the same girl, she's from Vologda, Russia...It's just a domain reserved by the company she works for. If you could translate it to Russian and then determine its abbreviation it would probably be the name of the company she works for I guess.?.? Who knows......

I'm not sure this work was ever translated into English - but the illustrations are fantastic. In German, it's titled "Kristallseelen" - a 1917 work. You can find it online at the link below - auf Deutsch!

I don't know if there's much etymology of the phrase, but here's an article about it which puts forth some interesting possibilities of the origin.\n\nQuote from the site:\n\n"Some linguists and historians think the expression must have been well known during the war years, citing a story about General Eisenhower's dog. The story goes that the dog (Felix) urinated on a map and the officers joked that the enemy was "pissed off." (Leonard Mosely, Marshall, 1982)."

I always thought it meant "Mmmm.....'kay."  Like Hmmm....Okay. Or maybe kinda like what that counselor character on South Park is always saying!

It means chick (as in baby chicken) or the more popular usage means penis.\n\nVerb-wise it means 'I paint' as well from Pintar. 'Eu pinto.' would be the full sentence.

LOGO, what do you mean?

Nothing.  It was an independent private newspaper that published the cartoon.  It would be no different than the United States government doing something over a New York Times editorial.  This is a problem that other governments have that they can't effectively control their populations and that the moderate Muslim leaders have that they can't stop their followers from rioting and killing.
