I have no idea, I will learn something new again tomorrow! LOL

I need to get out more often because DH is surely not complimenting me 4 times a week. He takes me for granted!!!

I will have to wait for tomorrow, too, unless curiosity gets the better of me and I decide to look it up. :-))))

Wow, this is a tough one today. I don't even know who printed the first one, but I will guess the publisher gave it that name. I couldn't even guess when it was. 1700's? Can you tell I am grasping at straws today to come up with a guess? LOL.

From the town crier.

I don't know what it actually stands for but I think it comes from around 14Century England.

Well I will guess because it was news printed on paper.

Wow! Yay me and Terilyn! Sure glad the answer was 'compliments' and not 'insults'!

For today's question, I have to agree with janey_alabama, it is paper with news printed on it, that makes sense. (So it's probably wrong)

Or maybe because it's printed on new (as opposed to used) paper.

I think there is a myth that 'news' was a acronym for North, East, West, South but that was supposedly debunked.

But I'll take a chili cheese dog with onions if that is the answer you're looking for!

I just read the same thing LoneJack said yesterday. I have no idea!

I also remember hearing LoneJack's post with North, East, West, South. Then maybe Past And Present Events Report for "Paper"??? LOL, not sure but that's what DH tells me.

chloe...I like that. Thanks for spelling it out.

I have no idea.....

Nicole, I was clueless, too.

I knew that someone would mention that N E W S acronym myth, lol. If not, I was going to, just for laughs.
