Bacon sounds a lot better to order.

Imagine if it was called a ALT sandwich :eek: instead of a BLT

The word derives originally from the Old High German “bacho”, meaning “buttock”, which in turn derived from the Proto-Germanic “backoz”, meaning “back”. By the 14th century, it found its way into Old French as “bacun”, meaning “back meat”. And by the 16th century, it found its way into Middle English as “bacoun”, which referred to all cured pork, not just the back meat.

That was explained by the maker who claimed that the original version of Febreeze had no odor and it did not sell well. After some product testing they found out that people assumed it did nothing because they could not smell it. They added scents to it and now it sells very well.

Why indeed ? :D

We can add to that “taking the piss out of” someone, an expression used in the UK and Australia, meaning to make fun of or laugh at someone.
