Waterloo was opened to the public in 1964 through the efforts of Percival H. E. Leach and the late Louis D. Gualandi. Recognizing the historical importance (dating back to the Lenape Native Americans at the turn of the 17th century), Leach and his partner completely restored the Village. The result is a place authenticating an Early American village. Today, the Village consists of three educational sites: Waterloo Village : a Canal Town The Canal Town is a perfect example of a busy village during the mid to late 19th Century.

32. Interesting Word Origins 18.) Where can you find the answer to these and more fun facts and interestingword origins? We hope you have enjoyed these questions. http://www.waterloovillage.org/words.html

Interesting Word Origins 1.) Why do truck drivers belong to the teamsters union? Bud and Lou, our resident Belgian horses, can answer this one. When Bud and Lou are harnessed together they work as a team. Teams of 2 or 4 horses were used to pull the heavy delivery wagons that brought supplies into and around the cities. The men that drove these wagons were known as teamsters. When trucks replaced wagons for making deliveries the drivers kept their name. 2.) Why is someone who is old described as "long in the tooth?" Horses teeth continue to grow throughout their lifetime. To tell how old a horse is you look in their mouth to see how long their teeth are. 3.) How poor do you have to be to be "dirt poor?" As the floor was usually put into a cabin last, someone who could never afford a floor to be put in over the soil was said to be "dirt poor." 4.) Why is it mean to tell someone he is "going to pot?" On the farm, livestock which would no longer be useful - maybe the milk cow who no longer produced milk - would be put down for food, literally "going to the pot" to be cooked. This was done especially if you were "dirt poor." 5.) Should you always expect to "reap what you sow?"

E T Y M O L O G Y (What's in a word?) As I've studied other languages first Portuguese and then French, I've become more and more appreciative of the uniqueness of words. Sometimes the sense of words becomes part of discussion, thus some of the popular stories regarding word origins have come to me by word of mouth. As I've tried to check the stories on some words, I have found out that there are sometimes numerous versions. You can follow some of the links I've included on this page to get the story on words that interest you. Sabotage - I heard that a disgruntled worker one time threw his sabot (a wooden shoe) into the machinery to stop the production line. Research I've done also makes reference to a similar explanation of the word. Barbeque - The story I was told on this word bears some similarities to information found in my links, yet this oral version has some unique traits. It is said to relate to the tradition of roasting a goat on the wooden structure over an open fire. The goat was roasted "from beard to tail" (de la barbe à la queue).

Some comments on the article S. Harnad (1996): The origin of words: A psychophyisical hypothesis 1. In article 1996 the Author hypothesizes that > "words originated as the names of perceptual categories and that two > form of representation". My question is about the nature of these representational levels. What is the meaning of "served to ground" or "to ground something"? In the light of connectionist alternatives I suggest to handle the upper levels (the categorical and the symbolical ones) as emergent structures from the lower levels. Whenever we don't accept this point of view we

In my view, the principle feature of all languages is that they can express what we mean, e.g. our thoughts. It is for this reason that we have to mention thinking here. One`s thoughts can easily be divided into groups, for example, judgements, sentiments, emotions, excitations, etc.(All right, this is an old-fashioned categorisation.) These are the thoughts one can will to express precisely. But we all know that there are different ways to express one`s thoughts. For example: the dance.
