I knows lots of words both proper and not so proper but until yesterday my path had never crossed with the escutcheon.

This be the type what stops a cold draught through yer keyole in the winter.

Aglet was a word that passed me by for many years despite being the owner of many.

Tis the little tube that stops the end of your shoelaces from fraying.

That's what happens when you spend more time going fishing than going to school.

 

It's worth noticing this word is from French origin... say no more...  :lol:

Escutcheon: the metal trim around a keyhole.
Spanish 'escuchar' means 'to listen'.
Seams reasonable to conclude that the Spanish invented the keyhole escutcheon.

When talking about advanced names for little, strange things - or rather the opposite: Is there a name for the "thing you put under a hot kettle" (to save your table from damage) in English ? 

In Norwegian there is no established word for it....

I love Carpe for these posts.

 

Bertie Wooster was "a blot on his family's escutcheon". That's being hanging around in the back of my brain for years without seeing the light of day. 

 

Found this on the t'internet:

 

"Escutcheon” is the heraldic term for the shield on which a family's coat of arms is painted. One with a blot, in the sense of blemish, would look as though there were something wrong, which is what The phrase is meant to convey. His crime was thus a metaphorical blot on the family escutcheon".

Well, 66% of English language is from French, one way or another. Which in turn, is based heavily on Latin.  The rest is mostly Germanic with bits and pieces from everywhere else.  But did you know that there are more words in the English language from Australian Aboriginal languages than there are from Scotch Gaelic ?  Loch, whisky and Galore are the only ones that come to mind. Indeed, bloody Scotch gaelic ! spoken by 1% of the population of Scotland yet thousands of pounds are spent in dual-languaging…..(is that a word ?...it is now !)......road signs and even police cars recently. Even in the Scottish borders where gaelic hasn't been spoken for hundreds of years.

 

Whoops, that's nearly a rant coming on.....

Trivet.  Or simply a kettle stand. :)

Oh, you lucky guys ! 

It was evident that Google Translate had no word for "trivet" when translating to Norwegian:

 

I put a trivet under the kettle => Jeg legger en trivet under kjelen  :lol:

"Setteunderlag for kjeler" or "trefot" were the closest I think

Spurtle !

 

I was talking recently to some friends of Scottish Independence pursuasions recently, who were adamant that they weren't British, but Scottish.

 

So I looked into the word Britain and it's roots, knowing that it was the Romans who called it Brittanica.....but they it turns out that they bastardised the word from Greek pretaniker, which is what the Greek explorer who first found our archipelago of 6000 islands called us in response to the question of who lived there (here in the British Isles), which was a  a few thousand years BC.....but then it turns out that Pretaniker isn't a natural Greek word and so is thought to be the celtic word for 'the painted ones'....given that we remain the most tattooed people in Europe.

 

So when I pointed out that to 'not be British' is to deny the use of the Celtic word for tattooed people when referring to themselves they just glazed over.............. and it was at that point I realised I had taken it too far ;)

"layer you put under the kettle" literally, and "three foot" a colloquial alternative as most trivets have three small feet underneath, my hairy Norwegian biker colleague informs me :-D
