The meaning of words in English, or rather how it changed. Found via [livejournal.com profile] furius, so I know I'm not the only one who gets a kick out of this...

Personal favorite:
"The governess reported to Lady Redstart that her four-year-old daughter had her first orgasm that morning.(The word actually means "extreme emotion" or "fit of passion". In modern terms, the little girl threw a tantrum.)"

[Congrats to anyone who finds the Latin error in the lavatory one.]

And the Quote of the Day goes to [livejournal.com profile] rosefox:
The Very Secret Diary of Cardinal Ratzinger? "Day 217. Still not Pope."
