Today's word, bogus, has been ruined for me by my childhood.



Or by Bill and Ted



Okay maybe not 'ruined' but heavily influenced by :P I can't use it in writing because my brain says nope.

Did You Know?

Bevy makes its appearance in Middle English as a word used especially for a group of deer, quail, larks, or young ladies. Etymologists aren't certain why bevy was chosen for those groups (though they have theories). Today, bevies include any person or thing—e.g., "a bevy of reporters," "a bevy of menu choices."

I wish to know these theories.  Deer, quail, larks and young ladies is an odd assortment O.o

Sounds like it might have been a bit of hunting jargon originally, but who knows?
